Brave and AdGuard are now automatically blocking Microsoft Recall, an AI-powered Windows 11 feature that continuously records a user's screen. Both companies cited privacy concerns as the primary reason for their decision. AdGuard specifically described the 'very idea of background screen captures' as unsettling, highlighting the potential for sensitive information, such as financial details or private conversations, to be recorded without explicit user consent. This move reflects growing apprehension about the privacy implications of AI-driven features that collect and store user data.
