the Freedom of the Press Foundation’s Holmes suggests users try the private browsing feature in the Brave browser, which uses a stripped-down version of Tor’s anonymous routing by default.

Better alternatives than this? I use a VPN but not Tor at the moment

Yeah those are what I am currently using as well, was mostly curious about what their were talking about re tor routing or w/e

Yeah, Brave has even worse track record than stock Firefox.

If you’re gonna get another browser, why not cut out the middleman and just use TOR Browser directly?

I don't think there is a middle ground between a VPN and Tor.

As much as I don't like Brave this seems like a good feature. There do seem to be some problems with it leaking in some circumstances though.

For the curious, Brave page about private windows with Tor Here
