Description

Google Search has some tracking parameters in the URL that are not removed by Brave:

  1. sca_esv
  2. ei
  3. iflsig (maybe it means "ifl signature" ?)
  4. ved
  5. gs_lp

Steps to reproduce

  1. Access Google search at www.google.com (or any other domain from another country, such as www.google.es)
  2. Search for something in the search bar (in my test, I used the word "test")

Actual result

https://www.google.com/search?q=test&sca_esv=6298c17d4a9e2aad&source=hp&ei=TNgTZ7u0IIXA5OUPjdqViQw&iflsig=AL9hbdgAAAAAZxPmXCJU8r7b0ivNPuKbpi9nAS6PQcg4&ved=0ahUKEwi7itf56JqJAxUFILkGHQ1tJcEQ4dUDCA4&uact=5&oq=test&gs_lp=Egdnd3Mtd2l6IgR0ZXN0MgsQABiABBixAxiDATIIEAAYgAQYsQMyCxAAGIAEGLEDGIMBMggQABiABBixAzIIEAAYgAQYsQMyCxAAGIAEGLEDGIMBMg4QABiABBixAxiDARiKBTIIEAAYgAQYsQMyBRAAGIAEMgUQABiABEiyDlDsAVirDXAGeACQAQCYAaECoAHwA6oBBTEuMS4xuAEDyAEA-AEBmAIJoAKNBKgCCsICEBAuGIAEGEMYtAIYigUY6gLCAhAQABiABBhDGLQCGIoFGOoCwgIaEAAYgAQYtAIY1AMY5QIYtwMYigUY6gIYigPCAhEQLhiABBixAxjRAxiDARjHAcICDhAuGIAEGLEDGIMBGIoFwgIOEC4YgAQYsQMY0QMYxwHCAggQLhiABBixA8ICFhAuGIAEGLEDGNEDGEMYgwEYxwEYigXCAgoQABiABBhDGIoFwgIQEAAYgAQYsQMYQxiDARiKBZgDpAKSBwU2LjIuMaAHnCw&sclient=gws-wiz
