Thanks for all your hard work in creating a privacy first browsing experience.  
It would be great to have a configurable option to open all Brave tabs as ‘Private tabs with Tor’.

It would also be nice if there was a policy to disable Tor’s private tabs for when setting it up for kids so that they cannot hide stuff from their parents.  
I am saying this as a younger person by the way.
