Welcome to mandatory "secure DNS", followed by Google's automatic (and mandatory) "privacy protecting VPN" built right into chrome!

They won't stop. Ever.

Hmm...

My workplace banned the use of Brave a number of weeks back because Brave started including a VPN with it. They were concerned about people using the VPN to bypass corporate security mechanisms.

If Chrome did the same, I wonder if they'd ban that as well?
