I’ve been trying to open webpages in a ‘New Private Window with TOR’ window. The progress meter just spins indefinitely for all websites. None load. New Private Window (w/o TOR) functioning normally. No such problem in the TOR browser (run separately to compare).

You can turn it back on and try a Tor window again. Turning this off will clear out all of the old Tor daemon state. That’s usually enough to make Tor work again.

@fmarier Yes, seems okay now, thanks.

On creating a private window (w/o TOR), crashes Brave too. This is a longstanding problem w/ or w/o Tor. Often just creating the private window or just as often on pressing enter in the address bar. Brave 1.25 and turned off DuckDuckGo extension. P.S. the Welcome popup claims its only pops up fo…

Appears to be working since Brave v1.26.67

@fmarier But now, yet again, TOR window isn’t working & toggling its setting off & on has no effect. Is it necessary to keep updating to the current release to keep this feature alive?

Just to be clear, what you experienced was this? Tor windows are not working. Toggled the setting ON/OFF. Tor windows are working again. (time passes) Tor windows are not working anymore. Toggled the setting ON/OFF. Tor windows are still not working.

@fmarier > Just to be clear, what you experienced was this? Yes exactly. In fact, I still have two tabs open in the TOR window from when it worked. If I now try to open a new tab the progress meter in the ‘New Tab’ never stops spinning and the tab never loads. I’m also finding that If I try to o…

@fmarier Since posting yesterday, I’ve updated to the current Beta: "Brave is up to date Version 1.27.100 Chromium: 91.0.4472.124 (Official Build) beta (x86_64) " Still no TOR tabs open, before or after toggling the “Private window with Tor” setting.
