Brave Browser leaks your Tor / Onion service requests through DNS
I respect Brave's efforts to make Tor accessible to the masses, but it also puts people at risk. There's lot of people with not a great deal of technical knowledge who are aware of Tor and might see it as a means to bulletproof privacy, unaware that using it through Brave on an OS like Windows 10 could easily expose them.<p>Brave does present some kind of warning to users when opening an incognito tab. It just doesn't make the risks clear enough and will mostly be ignored.<p>I'm not sure what solutions there are for this. Perhaps shipping Tor as part of a regular browser isn't a good idea. In fact, I'd say Tor should've never been tunnelling generic protocols and instead had its own protocol for sharing information. That's another conversation though.
