Google 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.
While running, Brave will make lots of requests to the domain p3a.brave.com as telemetry. They claim they store the collected data for several days[8]. Telemetry should be the last thing that comes to mind if someone were to imagine a privacy oriented browser. This feature is an opt-out that can be disabled. This opt-out can be disabled here.

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 setting the tabs to blank seems to stop the requests.
