Brave: how to enable/disable Tor windows and what do they provide?

Managing the built-in Tor windows in the Brave browser opens up unique opportunities for users to bypass censorship and maintain online privacy. To quickly understand where the issue with loading a specific site lies—whether on the resource's side or in your current profile settings—it is recommended to perform a simple diagnostic. First, open the problematic page in a regular private mode, and then try running it in another browser to compare the results.

If you require the maximum degree of anonymity, you can easily enable special Tor windows at any time. To do this, simply use the browser's main menu and select the corresponding option, or use a quick keyboard shortcut. Traffic in this mode is routed through onion routing, hiding your real IP address, although you should expect an inevitable decrease in web page loading speeds due to the nature of the network.

To disable the Tor mode, simply close the respective browser window using the standard close button. All temporary session data, including browsing history, cookies, and cache, will be automatically and permanently deleted as soon as the window is closed. This makes the technology an ideal tool for one-time confidential tasks, leaving no digital footprints on your personal device.
