From article:
If you have the Brave Browser installed on your Windows devices, then you may also have Brave VPN services installed on the machine. Brave installs these services without user consent on Windows devices.
More reason to ditch the crypto bro browser.
What’s the deal with the timezone?
Yes, what is the deal? I can’t say that I’ve noticed any issues. Am in UK if that makes a difference. And I usually run it through Proton VPN.
While I’ve never used LibreWolf before (I use Waterfox), that probably does make a difference as the UK is UTC+0.
I switched to LibreWolf after I learned that Waterfox was/is ran by an advertisement company.
Today they should be independant again, however my trust in them is forever lost.

I do not subscribe to guilt by association or being that concerned about privacy.
If I recall correctly, it was meant as a measure against fingerprinting. It’s basically one less thing to uniquely define a user based on the info that the browser gives to a website. I’m not sure if it’s still like that, cause it’s been easily a year since I used LibreWolf.
