As I recall, I signed up for the beta, so maybe they removed this requirement after release. I deleted Brave, and I was pretty sure it was for this reason. I just re-downloaded it and installed it, and sure enough there was no log-in requirement.
Was there some other privacy-touting or "alternative" browser that came out in the last couple of years?
One thing I did find annoying after installing it just now is that it doesn't import bookmarks from Safari, but rather only Firefox. It would be nice if it did; in fact it would be cool if some browser would do bi-directional bookmark syncing with Safari, to piggyback on iCloud syncing across devices.
- soundnote 4y agoI've used Brave for who knows how long now, and it's only been really recently (with the introduction of Brave Talk and Brave Search, which have paid pro tiers) that they've introduced accounts at all. There may be something related to signing up for a crypto wallet if you want to use those features (since at least turning the crypto into fiat requires the crypto exchange to "know their customer"). But the browser itself, the sync features etc., none of that needs an account. The sync service doesn't even have accounts, just a long string of words to serve as a the fingerprint for a sync chain.
