Private window with tor never works

@strycat ,

Using the Terminal.app, in a command line window, enter:

open -a "Finder" $HOME/Library/Application\ Support/BraveSoftware/Brave-Browser/

Within that Brave-Browser folder, look for a folder named: cldoidikboihgcjfkhdeidbpclkineef

That is the folder containing the component: Brave Tor Client Updater

In a Brave Browser > New Window, go to:

brave://components

In the list, you might see:

Brave Tor Client Updater - Version: 1.0.25

A component that does not exist (or not completely), may appear in your Components list, but NOT have a Version number/value . . . and that may mean, the Component is missing or not properly being updated.

Look over:

The Tor component is supposed to be replaced / updated, when you Disable . . . and wait a moment . . . then Enable the Private window with Tor switch:

I tested that. The Tor component (items) disappeared BUT were not replaced . . . at first. I discovered that, AFTER Enabling the switch, I had to open a New Private Window with Tor . . . and wait . . . until the Tor component showed up. (Just tested that, again:)
