I’ll be watching this discussion, as I’m currently using Remmina. It meet the bare minimum of SSH & RDP, but it doesn’t have a clear method to organize connections and instead uses a big list. I also find the interface a tad counterintuitive, so maybe I’m just using it wrong.

It also seems to have a bug where it launches twice whenever I start my computer. So I have to close one.

It was a few years back that I dumped Brave and had to perform the surgery to remove the service manually. I can’t remember the name exactly, but this article says “Brave VPN Service” and “Brave VPN Wireguard Service”. You sound like you don’t have it installed.

If you are using Windows, double-check your services.msc to ensure that the VPN was disabled/removed. After I got tired of fighting, I uninstalled Brave and the uninstaller did not remove the VPN service. So I have my doubts the patch would remove it.

No, after Brave installed a service level running VPN without my consent, and continued to reinstall it silently every background update even after removal, it’s a bad browser. That’s what malware does.

Comparing two companies with poor track records doesn’t make them good companies when compared to each other.
