Overview

• Brave 1.81, due August 5, will automatically prevent Windows 11’s Recall feature from capturing any Brave browsing sessions.
• The browser employs Microsoft’s SetInputScope API to designate tabs as private, ensuring Recall cannot index or store window snapshots.
• Users can override the default block in Brave’s settings if they wish to allow Recall to record their browsing history.
• Brave’s selective block targets only Recall-driven screenshots, preserving other screen-capture and accessibility functions unlike Signal’s DRM-based approach.
• Microsoft has also launched Copilot Vision, an opt-in extension of Recall that streams screenshots to its servers for advanced AI processing, intensifying privacy debates.
