Why does Brave ask if I want Chrome desktop notifications?

1

I’m trying to get away from Google. Why would that happen? also, I don’t see a lock to click on there. I’m new, just a tad confused.
Thanks

Also, how did Brave get this profile pic for me? I did not pick it. Weird.

Hello, Brave is based on chromium, the same code that chrome uses. I suppose that facebook detects it as chrome and that’s why that message comes out. Clicking to another part of the screen makes that notification disappear?

I think that’s what happens when you don’t choose a profile picture. The Brave forum is based on discourse.

It automatically detect your gravatar profile. You can change it in your setting

Because Brave’s User-Agent header is Chrome’s, so websites believe you are using Google Chrome and are extremely unlikely to take countermeasures against Brave.
