I opened Brave on my Android tablet, and tapped on the search bar.

As per usual, it lists my most recent searches in chronological order. But it says my most recent search was for "peafowl", and it wasn't. I know that, because a) I'd remember, and b) the search below that was mine, and it followed a conversation I had between 10 and 10:30 this morning.

What's with the spurious entry? Is it something Brave did, or something more sinister?

No. I don't think we'd even been discussing anything that sounds like 'peafowl'

Nope. I only use Brave on my tablet. I use Chrome elsewhere, and I don't sync any of my devices.
