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?

    This is sitting on the new tab page. No news or any widgets. Sync is never enabled. I though about update check, but that’s really offten to keep checking.

    I didn’t get to try out other suggestions here yet, will on Monday when I’m back at the computer.
