Yes, in my testing both nightly and full release versions of Brave Origin had the reporting_enabled variable present in the Local State configuration file and set to “false” before user intervention or browser restart. Even though the UI toggle “send daily usage ping” was present and “enabled” on first boot.

Regarding:

JohnDose:

Anonymous 479 on the other post about brave origin has confirmed that Brave Origin actually does send daily usage ping on Linux when those settings are enabled by WireShark. Have you also inspected the packets yourself?

I did not leave Brave Origin open for a prolonged Wireshark network capture, however on my latest testing I did briefly view the packets being sent by Brave Origin and did not see the daily usage ping being sent in the full release or latest version of nightly for Brave Origin.

@JohnDose I would be interested to know when you did the testing you mention here? All testing I mention has been done in the last ~4 days, with the latest testing happening within the last 2 days.
