Profile is stored in `Local` AppData folder instead of `Roaming`
See original GitHub issueThe user’s profile on Windows is currently stored to %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\BraveSoftware instead of %APPDATA%\BraveSoftware. The intention/advantage of Roaming would be so that people in an enterprise setting, computer lab, university setting, or another setting with shared computers could have the same profile no matter where they log in
This would likely be important to implement for enterprise support

The big risk here is that profiles don’t sync; the last-used profile clobbers the rest. Honestly, I’d rather support this use case with our sync, even though that’s a little way out.
