Brave Browser Blocks Microsoft’s Recall: Privacy 1, Snooping 0!
In a heroic stand for privacy, Brave browser 1.81 will block Microsoft Recall from taking screenshots by default. Recall, famously introduced in May 2024, captures screen activity for AI processing. Brave’s commitment ensures no accidental database mishaps, unless you really love taking risks and enable it yourself.
Hot Take:
Brave Browser’s new update is like a digital bouncer, keeping Microsoft’s AI paparazzi at bay. Forget about Big Brother watching you—now it’s more like Big Browser blocking you!
Key Points:
- Brave Browser 1.81 stops Microsoft’s Recall from screen capturing by default.
- Microsoft Recall was initially introduced to aid AI models by capturing screen activity.
- After criticism, Recall shifted from an opt-out to an opt-in model with added protections.
- Brave’s move mirrors Signal’s approach but avoids blocking accessibility features.
