    How we implemented this

    Microsoft has said that private browsing windows on browsers will not be saved as snapshots. We’ve extended that logic to apply to all Brave browser windows. We tell the operating system that every Brave tab is ‘private’, so Recall never captures it.

    Crazy that they have to Jerry rig this solution rather than MS just giving them one…

        I think he means that there should be an OS API to tell recall to shove it, or that apps should have to opt-in to recall.

        The fact they need to leverage private browser sessions means it’s a workaround not directly built into the OS.

        They’re literally not. That solution was intended for private browsing, not for the app as a whole.
