Allow users to disable APIs that intentionally identify the browser as Brave
See original GitHub issueCurrently brave allows sites to determine if its brave by querying a Brave-specific API (navigator.brave.*). This was done in https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/8216 to:
- make easy whats already possible for sites (by looking for Brave unique modifications), and
- make explicit that keeping brave indistinguishable from chrome is not part of brave’s privacy threat model
However, it would be nice to have a way for users to disable this if needed, either per site in shields, or globally through a flag.
