Windows Recall remains controversial a year after its announcement. Now, the Brave browser has taken new measures to "protect" users from the feature.

    Running Linux would block this feature too.

      Switching to Linux made me like computers again. Switching to Hyprland made me love computers again.

        Same story here! Im in love with computing all over again because of it. Too bad many are tricked into thinking Microsoft ia the only option.

      Keep In mind that you can still be captured by this feature indirectly, Discord for example certainly doesn’t intend to do anything to hide your messages, they recently went public so in their eyes more tracking the better.

      I’m thankful to have made a feature request to Element/Matrix asking for them to prevent this exact thing.

        Discord… Still isn’t public?

        They’re certainly talking about it but they haven’t announced a date yet.

        Having said that, element and matrix are both more privacy respecting so I do agree with the recommendation in general.

          Apologies, I striked the lines out of my previous comment. It simply was an example of how you still can be captured.

      Actually, Linux doesn’t block windows, it just isn’t windows.

      Just reason saying.
