I wanted to try out the desktop version of the Brave browser. Its setup according to the privacy guide directions and I have sendoff usage data disabled, but if I open the browser sitting on the home page, windows is reporting 100KB ofdataa going out every 5 or so seconds.
Running the same test with Edge, no network usage is reported.
The only extention on Brave is bitwarden, which is also installed on edge.
Any thoughts?
Try removing bitwarden and do the same test. Ibet bitwarden is checking for updates that it needs to sync.
OP says it is trying to contact some aws server. Bitwarden afaik does not use aws. Brave probably is.
Apologies…I misread that
I did this, no change.
