Hi.
I have noticed an abnormal behavior.
I keep toggling the option of “Black all cookies” in the Brave settings menu on Android since I never log in to websites or any similar activities that require cookies as an essential.
I noticed that after around 3 to 4 browsing sessions {that is - browse internet - quit browser, next day browse internet - quit browser - next day browser a little and so on]
The cookies are automatically enabled with the option active being "block only third party cookies"which ultimately accepts the first party cookies.
I noticed this behavior on 3 different mobile devices. Two of them are Android 10 and the other being on android pie.
All the brave versions are latest available on Play store. Devices and OS are updated upto the latest security patch available.
Is this behavior normal? Has anyone else experienced it?
This is a major issue that caught my eye. Settings should be completely depended on what a user sets it to be. Or the program can be defined as a tool that operates remotely without user consent.
Anyhow, I did scan with a bunch of Antimalware [individually, one at a time] and as expected, the device was clean. Did a Factory reset, installed brave and observed the same behavior. All this happened in a period of 4 weeks.
I am curious and concerned at the same time. Is this normal behavior? Any sort of help from an expert on chromium builds and the brave community would be great.
