I'm curious to know what version of Brave you have, because this option still seems to be in the Linux version #2641 (review)

I'll rebase this once #2641 lands to remove the fingerprinting commit.

Thanks for the PR! Dang, glad they made this change to macOS downloads.

Latest version in the official .deb repo:

That's interesting because I was using the latest one from the fedora repo in the release channel. Version 1.67.134 Chromium: 126.0.6478.186 (Official Build) (64-bit). I installed beta 1.69.117-1, now shows Version 1.69.117 Chromium: 127.0.6533.57 (Official Build) beta (64-bit) and it still has that option as strict.

I guess as your comment there #2641 (comment) this will probably change soon.

If you wouldn't mind rebasing then I'll approve :)

[fmarier]

@jonaharagon Rebased.

Even after you restart the browser? If so, are you blocking https://variations.brave.com/ by any chance? That's where the flag settings file (called a seed) is downloaded from. If that doesn't get downloaded for you, then you're not getting the intended configuration. You may be behind on some features we're only enabling via that mechanism.
