I wanted to try out the desktop version of the Brave browser. Its setup according to the privacy guide directions and I have sendoff usage data disabled, but if I open the browser sitting on the home page, windows is reporting 100KB ofdataa going out every 5 or so seconds.
Running the same test with Edge, no network usage is reported.
The only extention on Brave is bitwarden, which is also installed on edge.
Any thoughts? This is the IP it is sending to: 104.18.12.33
Edit: on reboot of process, I see the hostname: ec2-35-163-26-5.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com
Its encrypted traffic, just getting a bunch of bytes. I don’t see the server in the brave git repo.
Idk, something in there is sending data over what looks like a web socket.
Install mitmproxy and set the proxy settings to mitm. Maybe it will work.
