Windows Recall remains controversial a year after its announcement. Now, the Brave browser has taken new measures to "protect" users from the feature.

          That sounds like fear mongering, but ok.

        They kind of just ignore that the crypto feature is opt-in.

        Not interacted doesnt mean it’s non-existant.
        It exists and therefore it’s bad enough.

          it’s bad enough.

          This is debatable. i find some that people hate on AI and crypto regardless of it’s implementation

          Existent**

          It’s fine as a browser and it does a good job at syncing across devices. Still my chrome based browser of choice.

            How mich actual difference (minus the crypto) is there to base-chromium?
            Afaik chromium is capable pf being a browser. Does that also have syncing or is it not capable of that?

              Honestly not sure. I haven’t done a side by side with plain old chromium in years.

              On iOS it’s one of very few browsers that has good adblocking built in
