Hello privacy people!
Recently I’ve been using Brave as my second browser on my Android phone, for ‘disposable’ web searches and navigation.
By examining my NextDNS logs, I noticed that every time I open Brave, a connection is established to several websites (see screenshot, below). Notice that I have set a blank homepage, and this happens even if I do not open any other webpage or do any websearch.
So… why is this happening? Is Brave letting these websites track me? I am especially concerned about the Facebook one (digitec is an electronics e-shop, 20min and blick tabloids, ztat apparently is owned by zalando, and kxcdn is another content delivery network).
I am puzzled.
