Can browsers block recall recording as well?

I'll add that to every site manage

Let recall literally record only black boxes, fuck Microsoft

They can, but this wouldn't be a website thing, it'd be the whole browser. Not a bad thin, IMO, Recall is cancer that no one but Microsoft board members & investors are asking for.

I predict privacy-preserving browsers like Librewolf, Waterfox, etc. potentially deploying the same "DRM for a good cause" approach Signal is using.

It could be something that websites could then tell the browser using a header or meta tag

Given this reality, private messaging apps like Signal deserve to be treated with at least the same level of caution that’s afforded to a web browser’s private or incognito browsing window — which Microsoft has already excluded from Recall by default.
