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

    OK, you need to explain to me how tf does Linux block something that works only on Windows.

      No Windows, no such Windows “features”.

        Well, you certainly need to be in a specific state of mind for this to make any sense…

          Yep, and you also have to be in a specific state of mind to be okay with “features” like something that takes screenshots of everything you do on your PC.

            Then don’t enable it.

              But, you can’t disable Recall, that’s the point…

              You can just not use Windows and use Linux instead.

                Well… Technically you’re correct - because the feature is not out yet.

                No idea WTF you people are reading here, but for a “Technology” community, the comments here are just plain ridiculous…
