Do you want the application “Brave Browser Helper.app” to accept incoming network connections?

Hello,

Brave version: [Version 1.15.76 Chromium: 86.0.4240.111 (Official Build) (x86_64)]

System: macOS 10.15.7.

Unfortunately I can’t find any information about the “Brave Browser Helper.app”.
What is it doing? Why does it ask for separate incoming connections outside of the browser which wasn’t invoked by the user? What are consequences of blocking it?

Below the full text of the macOS Firewall notification:

Clicking Deny may limit the application’s behaviour. This setting can be changed in the Firewall pane of Security & Privacy preferences.

Thank you so much for your help.
