Windows Recall remains controversial a year after its announcement. Now, the Brave browser has taken new measures to "protect" users from the feature.

    Running Linux would block this feature too.

    Just reason sayin.

      Keep In mind that you can still be captured by this feature indirectly, Discord for example certainly doesn’t intend to do anything to hide your messages, they recently went public so in their eyes more tracking the better.

      I’m thankful to have made a feature request to Element/Matrix asking for them to prevent this exact thing.

      Switching to Linux made me like computers again. Switching to Hyprland made me love computers again.

      Actually, Linux doesn’t block windows, it just isn’t windows.

      Just reason saying.

          Heck, wipe the entire disk!

          (based on a real life experience)

          (windows just kept standing no matter what partition i deleted so i wiped the disk clean)
