The test plan in the linked resource (https:/ /github. com/brave/ brave-core/ pull/8468) is:
1. Open chrome://components and make sure that there is no Federated Learning of Cohorts component.
2. Open the devtools (F12) console, type document. interestCohort( ) and confirm that you get an error:
VM119:1 Uncaught TypeError: document. interestCohort is not a function at <anonymous>:1:10
The Chromium snap passes both tests.
