<h3>Brave has built-in telemetry</h3> <h3>Brave has built-in telemetry</h3>
<p>While running, Brave will make lots of requests to the domain <code>p3a.brave.com</code> as telemetry. They claim they store the collected data for several days<sup><a href="#eight">[8]</a></sup>. Telemetry is the last thing that comes to mind when I imagine a privacy oriented browser. This feature is an opt-out that can be disabled. This opt-out can be disabled <a href="brave://settings/privacy">here</a>.</p> <p>While running, Brave will make lots of requests to the domain <code>p3a.brave.com</code> as telemetry.

<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 is 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. I can't seem to disable 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 to do so. Judging by some of the information in <code>Miscellaneous requests worth noting</code>, I wouldn't put it past Brave to use Google's SafeBrowsing implementation rather than their own. This opt-out can be disabled <a href="brave://settings/security">here</a>.</p> <p>Brave uses SafeBrowsing.
