You can find more information about it here. Brave Rewardsīrave has a rewards program. Brave's SafeBrowsing is powered by google. However, it sends requests to fetch the information required. It's a feature that tries to "protect" the user from potentially unsafe websites and extensions. It can't seem to be disabled it in and of itself, but setting the tabs to blank seems to stop the requests. This feature Brave has is sadly an opt-out rather than an opt-in and sends lots of requests to Brave's servers. If you don't know what Firefox Pocket is, it's basically an rss-like news feed that's shown in every blank tab. Brave Todayīrave now has new feature similar to Firefox Pocket called Brave Today. This feature is an opt-out that can be disabled. They claim they store the collected data for several days. While running, Brave will make lots of requests to the domain as telemetry. The reason why it's low priority would be because it's been over a year and there hasn't been an implementation of it yet. Athough, it's on Brave's low priority list to add an option to do so. Auto-updatesīrave will check for updates every time you run it, and you can't turn it off from the browser. These shouldn't be the things that come to mind if someone were to imagine a privacy oriented browser. Spyware Level: Highīrave is self updating software, uses Google as the default search engine, has built-in telemetry, and even has an opt-out rss-like news feed similar to Firefox Pocket. The developers describe it as "A browser with your interests at heart." with the built-in privacy protections. Brave Browser is a Chromium fork with many interesting features not found elsewhere, such as built-in Adblock and other extensions, fingerprinting protection, a cleaner Preferences menu compared to other Chrome forks, and the (opt-in) ability to automatically support (pay) the websites you visit.
