TOO MANY REDIRECTS caused by Brave's user agent behavior

See original GitHub issue

Description

Hello:

With recent Brave releases, there was a change to the user-agent behavior that breaks authentication on sites that utilize zmartzone/mod_auth_openidc. Effectively, Brave now randomizes the number of Braves in the user-agent, which some authentication systems rely on.

The issue is documented in more detail here: https://github.com/zmartzone/mod_auth_openidc/issues/452

Can an option be added to disable this behavior? This currently breaks Brave for use on our internal sites.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Go to an internal authenticated site that uses zmartzone/mod_auth_openidc
  2. ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS

Brave version (brave://version info)

Brave | 1.0.0 Chromium: 78.0.3904.97 (Official Build) (64-bit)
Revision | 021b9028c246d820be17a10e5b393ee90f41375e-refs/branch-heads/3904@{#859}

Is it possible to move this to an earlier release? I would really like to start using Brave at work again.

I can confirm that it’s working perfectly in the 1.4.x Dev release.

I’ve reproduced on netflix.com - it redirected me to the russian site 😃 After the redirect “Brave Brave” is visible in User-Agent in devtools
