With the above GitHub issue ( ), we will change this behavior to download/install the dependency and then install it at time of use, similar to what we do with Tor or IPFS. While this makes the VPN easier to use for folks that ARE customers (ex: product is ready to go), I acknowledge this is installing dependencies that are not used by most folks. The services are not installed if you deny this prompt or if you install Brave as a non-administrative user. The two services were registered at install time due to it being convenient that the elevation (to administrator) has already happened (ex: UAC prompt shown) when running the installer. With acknowledgement made and commitment shared that we'll fix this, I wanted to mention why they were installed at install time and then explain what these services do, for folks that had questions or uncertainties. These are fair assessments in my opinion and I created the GitHub issue above so that folks can subscribe and track as we remove this. I'd like to acknowledge the complaints for this being "bloatware" and/or being installed without user consent. There are two services on Windows which are installed which are only used if you purchase VPN and connect inside Brave. I characterized the problem in a GitHub issue we have tracking this, which can be found here: Hopefully I can provide a good update and address concerns raised so far.
