New full node synchronization

Hello,

Do full nodes recognize the main chain only by its length (amount of work), or does it also take into account the proportion of its adoption by the network?

If 99% of nodes agree on a chain, and 1% on a longer one, will the 99% adapt themselves to the 1%? (i am indeed talking about the 51% attack).

Thanks.

I think the 99% will adapt to the 1% if all of the blocks are valid.
