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.

This thing is blazing fast. And when I say blazing fast, I mean freaking blazing fast. I've never seen a browser this fast my entire life. Lol It's chrome but 10x faster. Give it a shot.
