We’re excited about providing our users with a new way to protect the privacy of their browsing habits, especially as more sites and advertisers are using tracking techniques and abusing user trust. For users who currently require leakproof privacy, we recommend using the Tor Browser, which provides much stronger and well-tested protection against websites or eavesdroppers using advanced techniques to uncover a true IP address. We also plan to include support to choose exit node geolocation in the future.
We welcome developer contributions to our Private Tabs with Tor feature via GitHub, and look forward to releasing updated versions in the coming weeks.

However, the browser maker has already worked on a fix, which involves disabling the CNAME ad-blocking feature for Brave browser. According to the latter, the security issue was caused by Brave's decision to connect to the Tor network via a proxy - meaning it did not offer the same privacy as the real Tor Browser. The bug was first reported on Reddit, while another expert and Bleeping Computer also confirmed the claims - when verifying the traffic from a browser with Brave installed and connected to the Tor network. However, since the bug would basically leak out the Tor address to your DNS provider (which is your Internet Service Provider for most people) it would defeat the entire purpose of using Tor.ĭon't miss: Mozilla's Firefox 86 adds support for Multiple Picture-in-Picture mode and Enhanced Cookie Protection What does this mean?
