Brave browser will block Microsoft Recall from tracking your online activity


The privacy-minded Brave browser doesn't want Recall snooping on your online activities, though you can turn the option back on if you wish.

"We think it's vital that your browsing activity on Brave does not accidentally end up in a persistent database, which is especially ripe for abuse in highly highly-privacy-sensitive cases such as intimate partner violence." By taking a series of snapshots of your activity in Windows, the feature acts as an advanced search tool that lets you quickly find things you've done and seen. Responding to the complaints, Microsoft has been busy fine-tuning Recall over the past year, giving people more control over its operation and settings.
