- gwd 4y agoFrom TFA: > By default, Brave will only report your most preferred language. So, if your language preferences are “English (United States)” first, and Korean second, the browser will only report “en-US,en."1 Brave will also randomize the reported weight (i.e., “q”) within a certain range. > If fingerprinting protections have been set to Strict, Brave will instead always report the language preference as “English,” which ensures the largest available anonymity set2. And here, too, Brave will randomize the reported weight (i.e., “q”) within a certain range. > ...Brave users who wish to share more information about their language preferences with websites can easily configure Brave to do so. Users can disable the font / language protections by visiting brave://settings/shields and toggling off Reduce the identifiability of my language preferences.
