Make it possible for website to detect when you are using Brave

[vortexbased]

Currently, the browser identifies itself as Google Chrome. However, there are a lot of Chromium based browsers that add the name (like Edge for example).

I operate a lot of website, and I would like to be able to detect if people are using Brave. If they are not using brave, I would like to show them a message suggesting to start using it.

My main motivation behind this is, I like the idea of Brave rewards and privacy respecting ads, and I hope to be able to get my regular visitors to switch to Brave. However, I don’t want to permanently show a Brave banner, especially not to those that are already using it.

Hi, my search engine “Qwant” simply uses an ad for everyone on their page (that they should switch to Brave). Too bad you don’t want to show it to everyone, but I guess there’s no other way at the moment?
