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.

> We were partly inspired by Signal’s blocking of Recall. Given that Windows doesn’t let non-browser apps granularly disable Recall, Signal cleverly uses the DRM flag on their app to disable all screenshots. This breaks Recall, but unfortunately also breaks the ability to take any screenshots, including by legitimate accessibility software like screen-readers. Brave’s approach does not have this limitation since we’re able to granularly disable just Recall; regular screenshotting will still work. While it’s heartening that Microsoft recognizes that Web browsers are especially privacy-sensitive applications, we hope they offer the same granular ability to turn off Recall to all privacy-minded application developers.
This is not the kind of thing you'd do if you expect app developers to be enthusiastic about the feature.
