Hello I recently noticed that after updating Brave, the “New Private Window with Tor” option no longer appears in the settings for the Tor window. The dedicated toggle under Settings → Privacy & Security → Tor windows is missing, and I can’t open a Tor-based private window any more. I’ve tested cle…

I don’t really use TOR but it’s true I don’t see it for myself either, so you’re not alone in not seeing that functionality, and I’m not on Windows But looking in the Help Center and Resources > Release Notes and corresponding links on GitHub is… well, not making it clear to me, if you want to take…

Not seeing this on my end – on both Windows 11 and macOS Tahoe 26.0.1 the Tor window options appear both in the main menu and the Tor options in Privacy and Security are there as well: [image] [image] [image] User.1.000.000.000: I’m not sure how to even “Enable TOR via Admin Policy” if that…

Mine says TorDisabled → Not set. (Assuming I’m looking in the right place/right option): [TorDisabled NOT SET] and I’m on MacBook M3 Pro with Sequoia 15.7.1 and yeah not seeing it in brave://settings/privacy OR the Hamburger menu. NOTE: Nothing showed up unless I did click the button Show pol…

[image] User.1.000.000.000: Mine says TorDisabled → Not set. Mine also says TorDisabled → Not set, in the Policy page So what now? How do we fix it?

I’m also having this problem, I use Windows 11 Home and I can’t access those administrative templates, before update I could turn on and off private windows with Tor, now it doesn’t even show up in the settings menu. Happened after the aformentioned 1.84.132 update, it was normal before it. [1] A…

[image] tempuser527: Also in brave://policy, it says TorDisabled → Not set, and as I said I can’t change this page in any way. I’m in no way a coder or expert, but maybe the update to fix the previous bug with Tor now defaults into Tor needing to be manually activated or disabled by default i…

I am having the same problem. The options for tor in the privacy settings has completely vanished

damn , and I thought I was the only one with the issue. Is there ever going to be a fix for it? or is TOR gone completely forever?

Be happy it’s not just you, and clearly it is a bug, next time Mattches is available (I’m sure) he’ll make a report of it (I’d say there is plenty enough evidence at this point), or if you or anyone else in this thread have a GitHub account, you can create an issue here: https://github.com/brave/bra…

Can everyone here please launch the browser and go to brave://local-state, then use Ctrl + F (Cmd + F for macOS users here) and search for tor_disabled and share what the value here is? You can also share the entire few lines of code here. Should look something like this: "tor_disabled": { …
