Removed “IdleDetection” from brave://settings/content.?

Subject line is copied from latest release notes.

Does this mean Brave will always detect idle, or never detect idle?

Thank you.

From what I understand, this is a change related to a rather controversial API that was notably introduced in Chrome 94. The API itself has been disabled since November 2020 (almost a year ago) since Brave isn’t a big fan. But some UI elements have been left, which has created some confusion from people thinking that it was present in Brave, when it wasn’t.

You can even verify it by yourself: https://idle-detection.glitch.me/
