Hello everyone, today 2 curious things happened to me, and I would like to know the reason for what happened:

1. a few hours ago, while I was using my mobile data, I did a google search with brave and I got a screen to verify that it was not a robot (consulting the google forum it says that this usually happens when using a vpn, and this is not my case, it could also be due to malware, but I did an analysis with the avg, virustotal and malwarebytes applications and none showed that my cell phone had an infection), this happened to me when I did a google search with brave, and when I used the incognito mode in chrome (when I did a search in a normal chrome tab nothing came up), how did I solve it? Restarting the cell phone, when I restarted it, the captcha notice stopped appearing. I would like to know why this happened, or if it was a bug or something.

2. This happened about an hour ago, I play pokemon go, so when I go to play I turn on the location, the thing was that when I finished playing, I forgot to turn off the location. I check the permissions of the applications, and I get that Brave accessed the location 2 times (which coincides with 2 times that I did a search on google, precisely to test the captcha thing). Looking at the brave sites configuration, it shows that the location is blocked, also, when an application uses the location (such as pokemon go), the gps icon is shown at the top, which I do not remember what has happened in the moments when brave accessed the location. I would also like to know why this happened.
 
Brave is a privacy browser, it's designed to stop browser and device fingerprinting/website tracking and location tracking. It's the exact opposite of Google in every way. If you use Google as your search engine with it you're defeating the purpose, and will have problems, since Google will want to access the very things Brave is trying to block. Use DuckDuckGo with Brave... if you want to search with Google just use the Chrome browser.
