I chucked Brave shortly after they decided to install a VPN service on my machine without consent or notification.
A service that silently reinstalled itself on Brave update.
A service that did not remove itself when you uninstall Brave. It took a lot of research and time to rip out the guts of that. I will never trust Brave again.
