Description of the issue: geolocation doesn’t appear to be functioning correctly with Brave. Steps to Reproduce (add as many as necessary): Open a site that makes use of location (e.g. Google Maps). Trigger something that needs location (e.g. “Show your location”) Agree to location (click “Allow”…

@mgroves , Thank you for reaching out and for the detailed report. On my end, I’m able to have maps find my location when clicking the Show your location button on both Windows 10 and macOS systems.
