1. Launched Chrome and naviageted to a webpage.

Hi - attached clip that shows the issue.
Notice - 
* navigator.languages displayed he-IL as first language even before one was set.
* After adding hebrew as a chrome language, 'he' was added - to the end of the list! So he-IL, then en, then he.
* This created problems going into webpages such as jupyter notebook, which depend on reading from navigator.language.

The question is why is he-IL there in the first place and what is causing it to be the first (and therefore default) option.

Thanks.
Adam

adam.ochayon@ Thanks for the update.

Re-tested this issue on Windows 10 on the latest Stable 66.0.3359.170 and Canary 68.0.3427.0 as per comment #3 and unable to reproduce the issue.

- On navigating to chrome://settings/languages, can see that English (United States) is the language set.
- on executing navigator.languages in Devtools -> Console, can see the output as "en-US", "en"
- On adding Hebrew language to the list, and executing navigator.languages, can see the output as "en-US", "en", "he".
Cannot observe he-IL as the language set on Chrome.
Attached is the screen cast of the steps followed.
