Hello! Brave generates user agent strings that set nonessential data elements to more general values. For example, instead of declaring the browser is Brave, the user agent string will claim the browser is Chrome. Similarly, it will say the browser on your iPhone is Safari instead of Brave. This circumvents fingerprinting efforts by making you appear less unique, and more like any other user.
