Brave browser blocks Windows Recall screenshotting feature

[Redaktion]

The Brave browser, a web browser focused on user privacy, claims it is able to fully block the Recall feature in Windows 11 from taking screenshots of browser windows. The new block setting is enabled by default, although users can turn Recall's screenshots back on if they so choose.

Nice feature but anyone who thinks that can maintain his privacy on windows in 2025 needs to have his thinking gears checked.

True, but even then your privacy still depends about other people; you go Linux or anything similar, you send a message to someone who's on Windows, that gets caught in Recall (+AI). It's getting borderline impossible unless you want to communicate with no one at all.

Same as with phone numbers - you get spam calls because your contacts do weird crap with installing anything and everything on their phones, their contacts leak/get stolen errrrr synced I mean, that data gets sold and you, without any of your fault, get spammed.
