I have an issue with the latest version of Brave installed on Windows 11 Pro. The settings are not taken into account. The interface could not be changed from french to english and the browsing data are not deleted after browser closing.
Thanks,
Description of the issue: The interface is in french after Brave browser installation How can this issue be reproduced?
Go to Settings > Languages > Place English at the top of the list of preferred languages.
Go to Settings > Privacy and security > Delete browsing data when closing > check all boxes, click on Save
Close Browser
Expected result: The language of the interface should be english and the browsing data should be deteleted
In a Brave Browser New Window at brave://settings/languages emphasize English - everywhere: Preferred languages, Spell check, Brave Translate.
If problem remains, then try . . .
Create a new user Profile for Testing:
Create and use AN ADDITIONAL Brave Browser user Profile (Menu --> More tools --> Add profile) - only ← meaning: Do not have any other Brave Browser user Profile tabs/windows open.
When creating this new Brave Browser user Profile for test purposes
Do not import anything.
Do not add any extensions.
Do not allow/enable any Brave Browser “bells and whistles” such as Brave Rewards, Brave Talk, etc.
IF this test Brave Browser user Profile does not present your problem, then possibly, the profile that you have been using, has a problem . . . and that might be caused by one or more extensions, or too many tabs ← complex/conundrum.
Detailed info about testing - IF, in regard to memory and performance issues:
@JeanBaptiste is your OS/system language set to French? Further, can you confirm that you have actually checked the boxes next to the data types you’d like to have data deleted for when you close the browser?
