    Brave browser has been automatically installing VPN services on Windows computers without user consent, but it remains inactive unless the user subscribes.

    They’re installing extra software that’s useless unless you give them money. Plus you really want to be aware of your VPN since all your traffic will be going through it.

      It doesn’t auto enable and chromium also gives you a lot of unnecessary features. While I think Brave is bloat I don’t see how this is any more than the usual.
