How do I stop Brave browser on Android turning static text into web links?

While testing my web page on Brave browser on Android, there was an unexpected behaviour where a person's name that was displayed in the page within a td element was automatically turned into a web search link, e.g.

<td>James Cameron</td>

The test name happened to be 'James Cameron' (no relation) and presumably the browser has automatically Googled the text content and provided a link to the film producer of the same name in a panel at the bottom of the page. I don't want this, as it's intrusive and inappropriate for my use case. Is there a way to prevent this behaviour, perhaps by adding a META tag? I don't get this happening with Safari on IOS.

This feature of Android is apparently called 'Touch to Search', and it can be switched off in Settings.

It's not specific to the Brave browser, and there doesn't appear to be an official way to disable this although there is a workaround here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/64619907/13117403

My question is a duplicate of Disable Chrome mobile's "tap to search" on a web app
