Disable FLoC in Brave
See original GitHub issueCurrently Brave disables the FLoC component. However there is other FLoC functionality shipped in Chromium (behind origin trials). We should disable FLoC completely in Brave, including:
- FLoC client-side determinations of cohorts
- Any reporting of FLoC cohort determinations to Google (or otherwise) servers (i.e., the reporting used for k-anonymity cohort protections)
- FLoC JS methods (i.e.
document.interestCohort) - Any UI related to the FloC permission (i.e.,
interest-cohort)

For those wondering what FLoC is like I was:
Hi @dentistformyeye , thanks for the comment, but what you’re seeing isn’t a bug, its as intended.
Brave removes all FLoC support in the browser. This also removes support for understanding the “disable FLoC” header, which is why you’re seeing the message you’re seeing in the console. Or, put differently, since Brave doesn’t support FLoC, it also doesn’t support the “disable FLoC” command. So, you can safely disregard this message, knowing that FLoC isn’t enabled.
Hope that helps!
