Using Brave in a country, where political opinion can be dangerous, is it save to have Brave data and caches in the C: drive, unencrypted?
I don’t want ANY history of visited wab pages, passwords, cookie or otherwise forensic critical device openly on my system, in any readable or reconstructable form.
Brave is supposed to protect the privacy to maximum extent. So it should be 100% waterproof.
Can you confirm that? And if not, how can i make sure, that no clear text information leaks into some Windows caches?
Yes, it’s Windows 11. So, Brave will accumulate critical data like clear text URLs and other stuff on my computer? So, what folders do i have to wipe, after each usage? It must be possible to keep Brave’s environment clean, since this is supposed to be a privacy browser.
But maybe your tip clearing the history is safe enough.
Just FYI: The previous users earlier reply(/replies) has been removed from this thread, because the user was asked to be removed from the Community (don’t take it personally ).
Moving along from that…
This is honestly NOT something I personally have worried about or investigated and I feel like Community Ninja @Saoiray might have a better idea to assist with (he’s a volunteer user as well but very knowledgeable, just also part time so give him some time, if he doesn’t end up responding, make another comment and I’ll try to get someone else to respond).
Though, with that said, I THINK, at least in THIS regard, Brave operates similarly to how all OTHER Browsers do (could you cite another that does what you’re wanting/expecting?), because really, there is only so much a browser can do via encryptian with local stored information that needs to be regularly easily accessed while in use… I believe, that’s why the “removed user” earlier just suggested to have things cleared when exiting the browser. (& again honestly that works for me)…
If you’d like assistance in how to set that part of Brave up I’d be happy to assist with that, but not getting into that until you ask because I don’t want to waste my/our time if you already know that
Adding some tips. Read the following, in order to understand that residual information - “artifacts” - can remain in the Windows OS “cupboards,” despite whatever switches you throw among the Brave Brower tools, when trying to cover your tracks:
