Private with TOR won't work

It seems this is caused by some Tor process not shutting down correctly. For me the following worked:

  • Go to brave://settings/
  • In the bar on the left click on “Additional Settings”
  • In the Settings list on the right scroll almost to the bottom
  • Under the Heading “System” find the item “Continue running background apps when Brave is closed” and switch it off.
  • Close Brave and relaunch.
