You can use feature flags to get greater privacy enhancements, but they're not default and they don't list anywhere except a mention on their pages. I can't find any docs that instruct people on that. I just set up a slightly hardened config of Helium now.
I'd like Brave a lot more if they just kept all their other shit away from their browser product. They do great things with state isolation, anti-fingeprinting and an extremely well designed content filtering.
But they pulled a Mozilla of making a bunch of random services you likely aren't using. Cryptocurrencies don't belong in browsers. Their UI is also too much.
What should note is:
- No automatic updates on platforms
- No toggle to disable JS JIT at all levels per-site like Trivalent / Vanadium (huge security boost with minimum tradeoff)
- Minimal dev team (two people)
- Too early to trust
