profiles are my number one reason for using chrome as well.
i need them because of my bookmarks. i have close to 6000 bookmarks. 20 years and counting of curated and tagged web links. chrome syncs them across all my devices. i have to do the import gymnastics once in a while for edge and safari. but that's it.
why are bookmarks still browser-specific and not a OS-level feature? why do we need all that import/export gymnastic?

because 75% of them are probably dead links now ;-)
but all the major browsers have sync. you can export them from chrome and import them into brave
and btw if you use a lot of bookmarks (i do too) you might love this graphical bookmark manager YASD - you can browse bookmarks as thumbnail images of the site -- much easier to browse them for the link you want):

i created a custom chrome extension that opens a random bookmark in a new tab to check the link. this helps me fix dead links but it is a very slow process. sometimes i go over them manually and remove a bunch.
