Extension summary

Brave Detection Block BDB:

Brave is a privacy-oriented browser. Despite this fact, it has some characteristics that break some privacy assurances.

One of them is an official method for a website to detect you are running brave.

This method involves two custom properties on the navigator object, accessible at window.navigator.brave.

This extension will delete window.navigator.brave and make it impossible to detect if you are running Brave browser.

Change Log at: https://github.com/andrei0x309/Brave-Detection-Blocker-Chrome-Extension/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md

To increase the effectiveness of this extension, please make sure you have also turned both Solana brave wallet and Ethereum brave wallet from your browser settings, as they both leave fingerprints like 'window.solanaBrave'. ( there's a screenshot of the settings page for disabling the wallet in the repo)

Please use a wallet that doesn't leave fingerprints, such as what browser you are using.

This is great! Youtube hates brave and intentionally slows down when on the brave browser, but now youtube runs smoothly as ever! 11/10
