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.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.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.
