Starting in version 1.81 for Windows users, Brave browser will block Microsoft Recall from automatically taking screenshots of your browsing activity.

Brave does some cool stuff, but I just can’t bring myself to trust “privacy-first” software that was funded by Peter Theil’s circle…
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…
What do you mean? They are literally using the Microsoft provided solution.
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.
now if only it wasn’t a chrome fork/Eich would take a long walk off a short pier.
alas, a man can dream.
