A little unfair don't you think  

 

My understanding is that Google removed a setting in Chrome which fed through to the others. However with my settings on the Clipboard in Win 10 and the Brave settings I have it does not seem to apply.

There are programs which will encrypt all your traffic. PGP is one. VPN which do not allow tracking.

Nature of the beast - everybody wants your info to add you to mailing lists and Spam you.

If it is such a bother - take action.
