Google Maps Shows Incorrect Location Only in Brave (Linux)

Brave on Linux has been showing the wrong location in Google Maps for a while. The same machine booted into Windows shows the correct location in all browsers. On Linux, Chromium, Edge, Opera, and Firefox display the correct location. Only Brave fails.

I have tried basic troubleshooting steps:

  • Cleared site data and cache
  • Disabled all extensions
  • Used private window
  • Reset all settings
  • Reinstalled Brave
  • Verified no VPN or proxy is running
  • Confirmed location permissions are enabled
  • Checked geolocation via IP in other browsers

This issue persists with no clear fix despite multiple forum posts over time. It appears isolated to Brave on Linux.
