Thanks D.Draker, Karla Sleutel for the information. Still have limited knowledge on the Windows 7 OS and material. Using the last Firefox Windows 7 portable browser but would still like to have a second backup browser. Firefox works very well at this time.

Thanks again ...

I shouldn't trust Brave these days. I discovered it requests "GetFirmwareType", GetFirmwareType - "Retrieves the firmware type of the local computer".

Why would a browser that declares itself "privacy oriented" want to know your exact firmware? Yes, it's for only one purpose, to bind your account to the PC you're on.

More and more sophisticated tracking.

Could you please elaborate on when it started to do so?

Somewhere around late 1.5x versions.
