Brave Launches Paid, "Minimalist" Brave Origin Browser

To be clear I did read the links i provided in my above post.

Do you not consider this instructions on “disablong features”

How to completely disable / remove features in Brave

The instructions above show how to “hide” features from the browser UI. However, in some cases, you can take the added step of completely disabling the code that runs these features, and/or that keeps these features updated. This is equivalent to removing network calls or the downloading of any new code related to updates for that feature.

They also link out to: https://support.brave.app/hc/en-us/articles/360039248271-Group-Policy

Which provides more information about actually disabling some features. Note that if you want “Origin-level functionality” in that you don’t want these features complied into the browser that is not possible here, but that is only available on standalone versions of Origin (vs an “upgrade”) regardless.

I do see that you link to this page and quote yourself. Is your issue here that these group policies are not available on iOS/Android?

Ping is not just a UI bug.

I am aware, however what I mean here is that from my testing the ping is not actually being sent, there is just a meissleading UI toggle appearance on first boot, which disappears after first boot.

There was an issue with this ping being enabled and sent by default in Origin, however as I previously stated in my testing and discussion it appears to me the ping is no longer sent by default, though the confusing UI situation still exists.

If Brave really does intend to leave this ping disabled in Origin it would make sense to me to completely remove the “daily usage ping” toggle UI from the browser, instead of leaving it in potentially causing confusion.
