For a browser that markets itself as sort of "the out of the box, everyman's browser for privacy", they sure do have a pretty blatant disregard for user privacy out of the box. Look no further than the settings to see all of the anti-privacy features that not only do they bundle in but they enable by default. Hate that I even have to use it for anything.

@Wetrix I agree but its the only semi-private browser that is actually secure that can play widevine protected content.

@ThreeBadgersInATrenchcoat yeah anything even remotely connected to Google I stay away from so no brave browser for me 😅

@Wetrix I need WideVine which isn't in UGC or I wouldn't use it - Brave's out of the box privacy is nothing to scoff at when compared to the mainstream competition, especially when you take into account the immensely hardened security of Chromium (of which Brave is based upon) in comparison to Firefox, but something about their incessant analytics and other anti-privacy features that are on by default still bothers me.
