@Ayushsunny hey! Try to find it yourself, it might be tricky, but it’s a good skill to exercise. You need to find where in the code the browser creates this dialog, so you can search for files/classes that contain words like
permission
,dialog
,view
,ui
. The other option is try to find the current URL the browser opens when you click the question-mark icon and reverse search places in code where it’s used.Thank You @stephendonner. Brave is an amazing browser and I’d be happy to contribute more in the future.
