Problem/Motivation

When selecting Browser and User detection method, browser always has a bigger weight (is always applied).
in the attached example pictures the user(pkersten) has a language set as English and the default language for the browser is french.
When selecting browser method with a lower weight, the browser method wins vs the user method.

I tested this today on Drupal 11.x, standard install with French and Italian installed. Using the information in the issue summary I was not able to reproduce a problem with behavior of the Detection and Selection related to the User and Browser methods. I tried various combinations but never found a situation where the Browser method override the User method, when the Browser method was sorted lower in the list at the 'Detection and selection' page.

Therefore, closing as outdated. If this is incorrect reopen the issue, by setting the status to 'Active', and add a comment explaining what still needs to be done. Also, add complete steps to reproduce.

Thanks!
