Brave does something similar. It just looks like a generic version of chrome

It didn't always have a generic Chrome UA, if you go here[0] it had 'Brave' somewhere in the string, which you could fix by turning on fingerprinting prevention. Glad they fixed that. I don't want people to know I use Brave, although I'm sure there's ways to detect Brave with JS.

You can do `await navigator.brave.isBrave()` to detect Brave.
