This isn't unique to Brave.
for browser this is the first time tbh
What other browsers are implementing this? It's the first I've heard of it.
The founder of Brave browser got fired from Firefox because he was homophobic
What a title. Made me think installing the browser blocked the feature machine-wide.
Oh so they're just doing whatever Firefox is doing in private mode on Android that makes screenshots all black
Now whilst I enjoy all the comments I actually have to add something quickly that explains why this kind of thing happens. I recently worked with a rather old lady to find out why she was having so many issues with technology and stuff. I found out that when she started work in 1986 she was told that the shared password in her department at the local hospital was "password" and so she has used that on everything she can since to remember it... other gems that they used on whole departments included "qwerty" and "123456" and the best one of all "letmeinnow". On whole shared networks of 100+ machines...
Just avoid using an “AI” cpu.
All I have to say is I hope this catches on with other browsers.
I still have literally thousands of clients that use Windows and want support... for these kinds of things. Firefox has recently stopped working on a few things and Brave works better for me right now. It's not convenience when FF doesn't work...
But I digress, Win 11 here and Brave. My choices, for lots of reasons. Lots of linux boxes as well though. Each to their own and all that
Very brave of them.
I used some stuff to block my location and windows recall BECAUSE FUCK YOU MICROSOFT!
You can’t block all of Windows spyware. The best case of action would be to install an alternative operating system like Linux or a BSD-derivative. It’s counter-intuitive to “fuck Microsoft” when you are still using their OS.
