Comment on Brave appears to install VPN Services without user consent
ZeroCool@feddit.ch 8 months ago
Update: Brave plans to address the issue in a future release. The VPN service will only be installed after a user purchases the VPN.
“Oh jee whiz did we do that?! Woopsie doodle!”
Furthermore, no data is sent to Brave from the VPN services. End
Press [x] to doubt
If you’re still using Brave at this point you’re a fool.

when did people start hating on Brave? last I heard it was the best browser for privacy.

They’re Chromium based, which erodes any possible claim they could make to privacy.
Use Firefox instead. You can lock it down further than you can Brave and they don’t rely on Google.

I never used Brave, but I believe it was sometime after they started their ad-currency-whatever-thingy (I could of course be wrong).
