Reproduced the issue on my end as well.
Users can still use Standard
fingerprinting protection but for that they'll have to clear Site settings
, which will reset global Brave Shields
settings along with all site-specific Brave Shields
settings. Once Site settings
have been cleared, setting Standard
fingerprinting protection on a global level will result in Standard
fingerprinting protection for all websites. That's if users have made any site-specific Brave Shields
changes, otherwise global Brave Shields
settings are still applied properly.
Description
After changing the site-specific fingerprinting setting in Brave Shields to strict mode, attempting to set the fingerprinting setting to standard mode fails; the setting stays on strict mode. This might be related to #15288. (Changing the setting to "Allow all fingerprinting" works, but changing the setting to standard blocking afterward still causes the setting to switch to strict mode.)
Steps to reproduce
Actual result
The fingerprinting setting is still set to the strict option.
Expected result
The fingerprinting setting is set to the standard option.
