Brave browser blocks Windows feature that takes screenshots of everything you do on your PC
As does Linux.
Sometimes bad people do good things.
yeah, no, i'm not using your shitty browser.
But it’s funded by an unrepentant homophobe! How can you pass on that?!
They haven't blocked the windows feature, they're using DRM to interfere with it. Microsoft could easily change how the DRM works any time they want, rendering all these hacks useless.
Exactly, how do you even fight with the OS except just making it bit hard for them lol. You have to tell the OS what pixels to put in the screen, there's literally no way you can hide things from the OS if they want to know.
People, ynless they are at work, can choose to use Linux any time. I will personally assist if needed.

Unfortunately that would involve using the Brave browser, which is an antifeature in itself.
