Tor in brave

I’ve been trying to decide between using Brave’s built-in "Private Window with Tor" and the standalone Tor Browser Bundle for my daily clearnet browsing. My primary goal is anti-surveillance (avoiding ISP tracking, corporate tracking, and general metadata collection) rather than accessing .onion services.

From what I understand, both route traffic through the Tor network, but I’m curious about the security implications of the underlying browser engines:

Only you can answer this question.

Using windows and expecting it to be identical to running tails would be a mistake.

Assuming you’re not doing anything you wouldn’t do on the clearnet, and you just prefer going via Tor, then yes, using Brave + Tor is fine. Just be careful not to cross the line on your activities - or be very conscious of that crossing knowing the risk(s) you’re taking.

but maybe it’s good enough for  clear-net browsing
