I just found out that you can't make screen shots of Brave in privacy mode on Android. Is this an Android thing or a Brave thing?

@matrix
Yes. An application can announce to the system that you aren't allowed to take screenshots.

@matrix
If I recall, there are other features that flag disables, that in theory would allow other applications with appropriate permissions to see contents of a protected app's screens.

The obvious example is some mobile game asking for a super sensitive permission, blindly getting it, and spying on the bank app.

@matrix
Some apps let you disable it if you don't feel you need it. Signal is one of them. Ask Brave to provide a toggle like this?
