Wish for "clean" Brave Browser

Privacy Guides Community [Unofficial] May 20, 2026

Just reading the first blurb as to why brave is “spyware” automatically discredits this site as an valuable source for anything. > Brave is self updating software, uses Google as the default search engine, has built-in telemetry, and even has an opt-out rss-like news feed similar to Firefox Pocket. These shouldn’t be the things that come to mind if someone were to imagine a privacy oriented browser. Autoupdates does not equal spyware, and in fact is essential to improving the security of the browser (especially on operating systems that don’t have package managers that update stuff for you, like windows). An RSS Feed does not compromise privacy, and even if it did, it doesn’t matter because it’s not even on by default (it’s opt in unlike what the article claims, you have to scroll down on the new tab page and press enable for it to be active), and Brave Search has been the default search engine on brave since october 2021 (coincidentally around the time this article was last updated). Also their page on Kerbal Space Program is simply insanity and does not even remotely reflect the actual state of the game.
