Brave Software has proactively disabled Windows Recall from capturing screenshots of its browser windows to protect user privacy, following concerns over sensitive data exposure. The change uses Microsoft's SetInputScope API to mark Brave windows as private, preventing Recall from indexing browsing activity. This update is already in Brave Nightly and will be available in stable releases soon, with an option for users to enable Recall if desired.
