Who, exactly, is clamoring for Recall in the first place?

And who is to say that Microsoft will honor the toggle, “for analytic and performance metric” purposes?

EDIT: the rant above shouldn’t cast aspersions on Brave, good on them for trying.

This concept is certainly in the zeitgeist. I actually built and named a product 'Recall' with identical functionality eleven years ago:

This is crazy! Can I ask how to run this ? I'm not an advanced developer & can't really tell how exactly to run this on my machine .. maybe an update on readme.md could help?
