<p>A quick note on the whitelisting trackers: This specific point on whitelisting trackers isn't making the case of Brave being spyware as much as it's making the case of Brave's privacy features being snake oil.</p>
<h3>Auto-updates</h3>
<p>Brave will check for updates every time you run it, and you can't turn it off from the browser. Athough, it's on Brave's low priority list to add an option to do so<sup><a href="#two">[2]</a></sup>. The reason why it's low priority would be because it's been over a year and there hasn't been an implementation of it yet.</p>
<p>A special note is that on most (all?) GNU/Linux distributions, the automatic updates are only for the extensions.</p>
<h3>Anti-privacy search engine by default</h3>
<p><a href="../articles/google.html">Google</a> is the default search engine of Brave. For a browser that claims to be privacy oriented, this is a red flag. They at least make it easy for you to change the default search engine on the first run.</p>
<h3>Brave has built-in telemetry</h3>
