Sorry what? Tor inside a non Firefox(resistFP)/Tor browser? I really hope this is just a very foolish mistake since what they are doing by this is defragementing Tor browser(s) and making it easier for adversaries to identify a target.

There probably aren't even as many Brave users total as there are Tor Browser users making someone who uses Tor inside Brave instantly worldwide unique.

Also appearently Brave is a Chromium based browser. Then why is it on a list called "privacytools"? Last time I checked Webkit/Blink based browsers have no possiblity of counteracting fingerprinting or zombie cookies in any way shape or form.

Looking at Apache logs while debugging I was pretty disappointed to discover that Brave leaks artifacts like specific phone model in the useragent string.
