When I try to go to the Brave website by entering brave.com in my address bar, it launches a new private window with Tor and opens the site there. Why is this happening?

Go to Settings > Extensions and turn off Automatically redirect .onion sites.

Thanks. Never knew that was the problem. Solved!

Hey Gmacar you are copypasting my answer from another topic :slight_smile: but it’s ok [image] Protonmail Only opens in TOR Browser Support Just go to settings>extensions and turn off “automatically redirect .onion sites”

Why does the Brave website open in a New Private Window with Tor automatically?
