Description of the issue:
For two users on this MS Windows desktop navigating to Brave settings shows a settings menu indistinct from chrome://settings, yet, with Chrome replaced with Brave.
At one point i assumed this was actually Chrome ‘pretending’ to be Brave given the settings menu, this reflects in some of the screenshot names. This is absolutely no false positive. Tried and tested repeatedly.
Steps to Reproduce (add as many as necessary): 1. 2. 3.
Start Brave.
For user1 this bizarreness went away after killing the brave/chrome session, deleting cookies etc. No real fix found.
For user2 the issue persists. Despite force killing Brave, clearing cookies etc.
Actual Result (gifs and screenshots are welcome!):
brave settings, not chrome settings
Reproduces how often:
two times, one time for one of each two users
Brave Version(about:brave):
most recent
Brave is up to date
Version 0.56.12 Chromium: 70.0.3538.77 (Official Build) (64-bit)
Reproducible on current live release (yes/no):
Brave is up to date
Version 0.56.12 Chromium: 70.0.3538.77 (Official Build) (64-bit)
Additional Information:
this is somewhat scary and concerning since this may mean the information for Brave is available and changeable to Chrome when running chrome next to brave.
few screeenshots show a cluster/service running in the background, to be clear, the issue existed before booting this app (Crafter CMS)
