- Launch Brave browser desktop app
- Clear all browser data/cookies and restart browser
- Go to maps.google.com
- Refresh location

Show my correct general location.
Reproduces how often:
Always. Location is never correct.
Operating System and Brave Version(See the About Brave page in the main menu):
Windows 11 Version 23H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5039212)
Brave desktop version 1.67.119 Chromium: 126.0.6478.114 (Official Build) (64-bit)
Additional Information:
- Troubleshooting steps: I have tried enabling location settings on my PC, clearing cache and cookies, enabling location within Shields.
- Google Chrome works without any issues. I can go to maps.google.com and it immediately detects my correct location.
- Other sites that require location also think I am in Nashville, even after enabling location services for those sites.
- I talked to my ISP and they said they could not help.
- When I go to https://www.whatsmyip.org/more-info-about-you/ (even in Brave) the site correctly identifies my location based on my IP address.
