Brave will allow users to choose which sites can access local network resources.
I’ve been using Brave on my Windows install. I think it’s OK compared to Firefox, but I can’t help but feel like all the UI and terminology is very “crypto” tailored.
Anyway, I think this feature is a good idea. I didn’t even realize this was a big problem with modern OSes. Out of curiosity, do port scanning features like this escape application sandboxes? (Like flatpak, docker containers, etc?)
For firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/port-authority/
edit:
Better to use uBlock Origin (which you should use anyway), and just enable the “
Block outsider intrusion into lan” filter list, as pointed out by ch1cken. - Thanks for that.ublock origin can already do this btw, don’t need an additional browser addon, just tick the “block outsider intrustion into lan” blocklist
What a great feature! Where would I find that setting on ubock origin?

Extension settings -> Filter Lists -> Check the box under ‘Privacy’
Just stop using Brave and switch to Firefox. Chromium is spyware.
