The issue seems to have been fixed with #8365, while I am not sure if the code reported on the tweet is blocked.

  • Brave Version (revision SHA): 0.16.9

  • Extra QA steps:

I think so, if this code does not detect the browser:

if(Object.getOwnPropertyDescriptor(Object.getPrototypeOf(navigator), "plugins").get.toString().indexOf("native") == -1) {
// brave
}

See the tweet above.
