@2b what is your specific concern? As @pes10k mentioned we are working on a lot of projects to make Brave users indistinguishable from other Brave users, but hiding the fact that you’re using Brave is very difficult because we are intentionally blocking some features that Chrome provides, among other things.

Thanks for calling out though, as these not matching may be an issue.

I just re-read the relevant parts of the spec. These should definitely be the same value.

I wasn’t aware we are supporting this header yet? Did you have to compile with kUserAgentClientHint added to the enabled features? (ex: in src/brave/app/brave_main_delegate.cc)

Just enable chrome://flags/#enable-experimental-web-platform-features and restart the browser.
