since last week brave changes language in google search.
I’ve set English in settings and it has ever been in English.
Recently started to switch to another local language.
Same on mobile.
How to fix this?
–
-Macbook Air m1 13.6.3 (ventura)
-Android galaxy s21
current brave on macbook: Version 1.66.118 Chromium: 125.0.6422.147 (Official Build) (arm64)
also it asks for location (over a month now) when looking at google map related content. I’ve set not to ask, but it still does.
I have the exact same problem, both on desktop and android and it’s slowly driving me mad… I know two other persons who have the same problem. It’s been happening for a few weeks, but lately it stopped doing that on desktop and after an update it stopped on android. Since two days it’s happening again… on both systems. Brave support?
@Dulume the worst thing is that brave support never responds.
so we have to either change browsers (which Im planning) cos of persistent issues or someone from support helps us.
This is still happening, the problem hasn’t been resolved yet… And no sign of brave support
and i got this ’ This topic will close a month after the last reply.’
so let’s reply every month until they fix
This is BS… I think I’ll stop using Brave for a while, it’s driving me mad! I live in Switzerland and Brave switches to german randomly all the time. German is probably beautiful, but I don’t speak it! I like the dark theme! I’m literally drowning in a tea cup, cause I know it’s no big deal, but it’s still driving me mad, like a little rock in your shoe… anyway. It’s good to rant every once in a while.
Reading thru these issues confirms my leaving Brave. It was once a good idea with vale. Like others they’ve lost it so it’s time to go.
Same problem on iPad and iPhone haven’t check MacBook yet. My brave keeps switching to UK English. I use a vpn, proton vpn, love if. Not sure if any of you use vpns. But I’m wondering if it may be causing or related to the issue. I live in the Oregon United States, I often use servers in Japan and occasionally Canada for a particular awesome online crypto casino. I haven’t tested or trouble shot this to see if it may be the cause. Will check it out, do some tests, will reply with results soon.
Let’s keep this thread open forever, haha!
But are there any other options?
The only reason I stick with Brave is because it’s great at blocking ads, especially on YouTube.
I’ve tried Chrome extensions, but they don’t work as effectively on YouTube and other sites.
did you guys found any alternative to Brave?
@yfipohs, this issue has been discussed in other topics, such as this one: Very weird Brave behaviour. Or even yet another topic on it is Shields are causing Google Search to reset display language & theme settings randomly
People from Brave have been responding there, like in this post: Very weird Brave behaviour - #34 by Mattches
It’s important to check existing topics before creating a new one, as it can help you find solutions more quickly. Having duplicate topics open only delays assistance and will often lead to many of the duplicates being missed or ignored. It’s too time consuming and uncessary to constantly repeat the same info over and over just because someone didn’t want to take the time to look through things first.
Additionally, more details about your settings would be helpful. For example, where did you set English—just in Brave, or also in Google? And are you clearing cookies? If so, that could reset changes made on a site-by-site basis.
Keep in mind that you have settings in your Google account. If you’re not changing that and it’s set to English, then that will be what it fetches first. For example:
