Hi @munir131, can you confirm what's being displayed on https://uaparser.dev/ when browsing from Brave? It should be detected as Brave since we also use feature detection.

I'm closing this for now, please reopen if you still facing the issue

@faisalman As I mentioned in the description, it was tested on https://uaparser.dev/ It is not very concerning for me so not going to reopen. I wanted to let you know that this case drew your attention so this library can serve more accurately.
