Hello!
I’m afraid I’m experiencing a small but annoying issue. Whenever I navigate to any Brave website (main site, community forums, Brave Search, etc.) the window loads, but a whole new Brave Tor window for the page loads as well. This is unprompted and only occurs on Brave sites. I haven’t experienced it on any other website.

## Description
Adding the `--tor` argument at the end of the "Target" box open… s up two Brave Private Tor windows, instead of just one,
This behaviour is also mirrored if trying to add the --tor argument in Brave's pinned icon in the Taskbar.
## Steps to Reproduce
1. Right click on the Brave browser's icon, either under Desktop or the pinned icon on Taskbar (Windows 10)
2. Select "Properties"
3. Add the `--tor` argument at the end of the path found in the Shortcut tab inside the target box. Ex: `"C:\Program Files\BraveSoftware\Brave-Browser\Application\brave.exe" --tor`
4. Apply and save the changes
5. Try opening up Brave with Private+Tor by double clicking on the Desktop icon, or clicking on the pinned icon on the Taskbar.
6. Brave will open up 2 windows instead of only one. (Tor and Tor 2)
## Expected result:
Opening Brave after making the change to open Tor mode by default should open up only one window.
## Reproduces how often:
Easily reproduced each time one tries to open Brave after making the changes, both by clicking on the Desktop icon and by clicking on the pinned icon in Taskbar.
## Brave version (brave://version info)
Brave | 1.36.111 Chromium: 99.0.4844.51 (Official Build) (64-bit)
Revision | d537ec02474b5afe23684e7963d538896c63ac77-refs/branch-heads/4844@{#875}
OS | Windows 10 Version 21H1 (Build 19043.1586)
## Other Additional Information:
Using the --incognito argument instead of --tor opens up a single window, as expected.
It's only the --tor argument that causes the issue.

Do you have this option enabled?

Ah! That was the problem! I swear I went over the settings nearly 7 times so I was certain I didn’t miss anything. How clumsy of me.
I flipped that switch and I have no longer had this annoying issue. Thank you for pointing this out for me.
