    It’s good users are now aware that Brave includes redundant features that you have to pay extra for to activate. Users browser will update everytime the browser or the VPN software needs an update.

    For example Firefox VPN from Mozilla is separate software. They don’t force millions of users to download it even if they don’t want it.

    This is yet another example why people should not be using Brave and should be skeptical of its intentions.

        brave is basically installing a future minefield with system-wide access waiting to be triggered by them, or an exploitable bug by others, on all brave users’ pcs and not just those who sub to their vpn service.

            But its not active unless you turn it on right? Just preinstalled so if you decide to use it its already there?

            Cause that does sound like a little bloatware but if thats the only bloat they have and thats its only issue Im not sure Im bothered by it.
