Description

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

  1. sca_esv
  2. ei
  3. iflsig
  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

Note: I removed part of the parameters and replaced them with 3 dots (...) for privacy reasons.
