TOO MANY REDIRECTS caused by Brave's user agent behavior
See original GitHub issueDescription
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 Brave
s 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
- Go to an internal authenticated site that uses zmartzone/mod_auth_openidc

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
