Summary: Unexpected Accept-Language entries on Android 14 with regional preferences set → Over-specific Accept-Language language identifier tags on Android 14 with regional preferences set

The extra language identifier may lead to websites compatibility issues and allows for more fingerprinting.

This also affects APIs like navigator.language and navigator.languages.
