When you download Brave for Windows, you are also downloading the company's VPN service, for better or worse.

          But its not active unless you turn it on right? Just preinstalled so if you decide to use it its already there?

          Cause that does sound like a little bloatware but if thats the only bloat they have and thats its only issue Im not sure Im bothered by it.
