It seems like Brave is stopping with its most aggressive anti-fingerprinting feature because it breaks too many sites and not a lot of users are using it. So I guess this makes sense.

Brave currently offers two levels of fingerprinting protections. which make it harder for tracking companies to identify you as you browse the Web: Standard and Strict mode. Over time, however, we have observed significant disadvantages of Strict mode.

Question on Brave browser. I am trying to setup the AuthServerAllowList for Brave and its not working. In the past it did. This is for work and for an internal site that needs auth, but for some reason it seems like its a no go. Does anyone know if this is still correct?

I added the following at Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\BraveSoftware\Brave\ The string is AuthServerAllowList and in that is the web pages that I need to auto log into.

It works for MS Edge and Google Chrome but not Brave.

Running Windows 11 Enterprise

Back in October, we reported that Brave was installing VPN services for all users on Windows. Most Brave browser users do not use Brave Software's VPN service, but they still got the VPN service installed on their machines without consent or any intention of using the VPN.

Brave Software responded to the allegations. It confirmed that the VPN services were installed on user devices on Windows. These were set to manual, which meant that they would not start unless started by the user. Furthermore, the VPN services would not submit any data to Brave Software.

The company promised to change the behavior in the future. Fast forward six months and the release of Brave 1.64. The latest release of the browser does not install the VPN service anymore on Windows.

Brave Search's new Answer with AI feature is now available. The feature replaces AI Summarizer, which was used on Brave Search previously to provide summaries based on user queries.

In a nutshell: Answer with AI works like an instant answers feature. It returns information to the user using multiple sources, including Brave Search's index.
