If you have the Brave Browser installed on your Windows devices, then you may also have Brave VPN services installed on the machine. Brave installs these services without user consent on Windows devices.
Brave Firewall + VPN is an extra service that Brave users may subscribe to for a monthly fee. Launched in mid-2022, it is a cooperation between Brave Software, maker of Brave Browser, and Guardian, the company that operates the VPN and the firewall solution. The firewall and VPN solution is available for $9.99 per month.

I’ve posted a similar question to asklemmy but more over the focus on preference than privacy. In short the search engine Kagi is really good, Brave search was what I had used for a while.

Kagi is a literal scam

ddg does that for free
$10/mo is also crazy overpriced for a search engine, they’re really not resource intensive at all
Check out thorium.rocks It is a fork of Chromium with performance and security improvement. Chris Titus recommends it.
Stop using his baby boomer ramblings as a source of authentic information. He is just being a redditor on his Titus Tech Talk channel, giving advice on every topic regardless of his expertise on the subject. He is doing good work with debloat script and general Linux peptalk, but put a full stop there. The stuff about web browsers, antiviruses and a bunch of other stuff is complete drivel.
Wait, Brave, a piece of crypto malware, is acting like crypto malware? Oh no! Roses are red, water is wet and sky is blue too, right?
