Brave keeps popping up new Tor window


Brave keeps starting a new Tor window with an empty “New Tab”
To replicate:

  1. Click on a link in any site in an existing Brave tab.
    Expected result: New Brave Tap showing the site pointed to by the link, instead a new Brave/Tor window starts with the clicked link in the address bar. but with the Tor tab page being empty. If I click return on the link in the address bar, the tab say “address not found”
    If I close the Tor window the Linked site I clicked is in a new tab in the existing Brave browser.
    Using Version:v1.48.158** (Feb 7, 2023)
    Additional Information:
    Only revalent link founds suggests:
    Try the following: Type brave://settings/extensions in the address bar. Disable Automatically redirect .onion sites if it is enabled.
    I cannot find this setting
    Extensions being used:
    Adobe Acrobat: PDF edit, convert, sign tools
    Blogger for Browser 1.3
    Capital One Shopping: Add to Chrome for Free
    Google Translate 2.0.12
    LastPass: Free Password Manager 4.108.1
    Obsidian Web 2.2.3
    Raindrop.io 5.5.15

Hello @catotonic

Thanks for bringing this to our attention and I’m sorry to hear you are going through this. Could you kindly try to install the Beta or Nightly version of Brave to see if the issue persist?

Be waiting for your response!
