[QUOTE="PotentialUser, post: 890548, member: 87776"] Hey [USER=71262]@oldschool[/USER] (and fellow peers). I ran into some Reddit threads saying Brave randomly connects to crypto websites even with Crypto Wallets and Brave Rewards turned OFF. I [U]don't[/U] use either of those features and just need a relatively secure browser that won't implement Google's Manifest 3 (the update that will kill ad-blockers). However, I am concerned to see threads like these (extremely recent posts) saying Brave connects to these servers out of the blue. - URL: [MEDIA=reddit]brave_browser/comments/f3e27q[/MEDIA] - URL: [MEDIA=reddit]privacytoolsIO/comments/gr8nue[/MEDIA] - URL: [MEDIA=reddit]brave_browser/comments/gfw234[/MEDIA] - URL: [URL="https://community.brave.com/t/brave-browser-connects-to-min-api-cryptocompare-com/128945"]Brave browser connects to min-api.cryptocompare.com[/URL] Do you have any idea how to stop this behavior? One of Brave's mods/devs said in one of the Reddit threads this behavior shouldn't be happening (even though it obviously is) when Crypto Wallets and Brave Rewards are turned off. He then recommended also turning off the setting "Load Crypto Wallets on startup" in the Extensions portion of Brave's settings. What has your experience been with this? Do you know how to stop this kind of behavior from occurring? I really enjoy using Brave but this is definitely bugging me to say the least. Thank you in advance! [/QUOTE]
