New Update Brave Browser release info

I believe the flags are similar to Chrome

Mostly.

Tried downloading from the main website using Vivaldi and Microsoft Edge. Heimdal Thor Premium Home blocks the download. Contacted support to make sure it is a false positive.

Someone else posted about this yesterday on another thread. It has to be an FP.

Brave may be having server issues because there are reports of update failures, but you should have no problem with a new install. Or you can wait ...
 
I can download it using Firefox.

@The Cog in the Machine et. al. - A new post from Brave Support:

ToughPapaya:
Version number: Version 1.5.115 Chromium: 80.0.3987.149 (Official build) (64-bit)
OS: Windows 10 Home 64-bit
This one is the latest release.
And for all,
Currently there’s a maintenance with the update server. We can wait and try again later.
Thanks
 
May not be a false positive for few days now the Foresight part of Thor Premium has not liked a Brave Web connection, Heimdal have looked into and have not changed their minds
I still have not received anything from Heimdal Security support. Yes, I believe it is not a FP. Actually this is expected as Brave browser has made its way to the top, so it is expected to see issue like this and surely it will be targeted. The issue might be related to the Coronavirus outbreak though.

Please post Heimdal response.

Heimdal still blocks the download. I still have not received any responses from Heimdal support.

Brave Privacy Protections

The article describes the Privacy Protections in Brave. Nowadays, browsers come with some built-in protections for the users but whether they are adequate and strong enough are yet to be seen. If you feel the built-in protections are inadequate then it's time to boost them


Examples does Brave protects the user against zero-width Unicode characters or against keystroke fingerprinting?

Below attachment shows the detection of zero-width Unicode characters at amazon.com using the 'Detect Zero-Width Characters' extension. An interesting read up is provided in the below link
