Brave browser blocks Windows feature that takes screenshots of everything you do on your PC
-
So you're saying you haven't bothered to read about Recall at all, you just assumed it's going to be enabled by default?
Until a windows update kicks in and somehow turns it on for the world. thanks but no thanks. I'll be disabling this not with a reg key but with local policy or DSC if I have to use a windows machine for personal again.
I switched to Linux 2 months ago.

This still doesn't make brave a good privacy browser in the long run

Well, you certainly need to be in a specific state of mind for this to make any sense...
Yep, and you also have to be in a specific state of mind to be okay with "features" like something that takes screenshots of everything you do on your PC.

And yet they all have a package manager of some kind to install packages from. It doesn’t have to be Flatpak specifically
No, but all of them have different repos out of the box, which will lead to confusion when consumers can't find the one they need.

Then don't enable it.

What are you talking about now?
I believe they are talking about Windows, an OS that is spyware and no one should use
An example of Windows being spyware not standard telemetry is the Recall feature. A feature that doesn’t just tell you how the OS is used but actually takes screenshots every few seconds

Honestly it largely is.
I mean, by definition, it isn't.
It's anonymous and not malicious in nature. It's a diagnostic and engagement measuring tool.
not malicious in nature
Haha, sure thing William

It's probably the best chromium browser out there
Firefox has done shit too
sadly we don't have a lot of choice, but they're one of the least worse
sure there are choices. I don't use either. if you believe there are only 2 choices out there...man you have no idea.

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.

I wonder why the fuck is am taking so long to do it...

I did, just made a mistake. Thank you and have a pleasant afternoon.
wow why is this getting downvotes for admitting a mistake?

The fact that the dev behind brave is a homophobe isn't opt in though...
Peter Thiel was also a major, early investor in the project.
That's another 'this one thing should let you know this is radioactive.'

Look at this bootlicker ignoring history and saying trust Microsoft.

I don't care if I like them. I very much care if I'm making money for people who are actively trying to take away my rights
People act like these fuckers dont influence anything, like they exist in some bubble away from reality. It matters what you use. What you use empowers the creator.

"Look at this fossil thinking it's still 1990", I guess?
Mate, did you miss how 30 years have passed? How the world change? Can you even begin to imagine the fine the EU would slap without a second thought on MS if they tried pulling something like suddenly grabbing these screenshots from users' devices?

Are you a tech-illiterate person?
If not, explain how is it malicious.
