Only trust my frens, here. I thought using a VPN would mask one's actual location and ip address. But there are some sights that recognize my account with them whether or not I am using a vpn. Can someone explain? Thanks.

Well this is confusing because I thought Brave didn't save cookies. I'll check that though. Thanks.
Oh, I know they can get in. But I was thinking in some circumstances, they could be helpful. Thanks for explaining about Brave. I did not realize it saves cookies in Regular viewing mode. I actually thought that was one of the big 'features' about Brave, that it doesn't do that so you're not saddled with a bunch of ads and other junk. So let me ask you this. Say you have sites that you regularly visit and do so in Regular browsing mode. Apparently some cookies get saved. Now you switch to Private mode for a different site. But you've also visited that site in Regular mode, so picked up some cookies. Now when you're back in Private mode, can it recognize the cookies it put there in Regular mode?
