<h3>Brave Today</h3> <h3>Brave Today</h3>
<p>Brave now has new feature similar to Firefox Pocket called Brave Today. If you don't know what Firefox Pocket is, it's basically an rss-like news feed that's shown in every blank tab. This feature Brave has is sadly an opt-out rather than an opt-in and sends lots of requests to Brave's servers. It can't seem to be disabled it in and of itself, but <a href="brave://settings/newTab">setting the tabs to blank</a> seems to stop the requests.</p> <p>Brave now has new feature similar to Firefox Pocket called Brave Today.

<h3>SafeBrowsing</h3> <h3>SafeBrowsing</h3>
<p>Brave uses SafeBrowsing. It's a feature that tries to "protect" the user from potentially unsafe websites and extensions. However, it sends requests to fetch the information required. Judging by some of the information in the <code>Miscellaneous requests worth noting</code> section, it wouldn't be too far-fetched for Brave to use Google's SafeBrowsing rather than their own implementation. This opt-out can be disabled <a href="brave://settings/security">here</a>.</p> <p>Brave uses SafeBrowsing.

<h3>Brave Rewards</h3> <h3>Brave Rewards</h3>
<p>Brave has a rewards program. You can find more information about it here<sup><a href="#three">[3]</a></sup>. At first glance it looks like the rewards program is an opt-in, but the browser makes requests to these domains regardless if you sign up or not:</p> <p>Brave has a rewards program.
