Brave browser has a notoriously bad history with their tor implementation. Would not trust [1].

Brave’s Tor mode, introduced in 2018, was sending requests for .onion domains to DNS resolvers, rather than private Tor nodes. A DNS resolver is a server that converts domain names into IP addresses. This means the .onion sites people searched for, with the understanding those searches would be private, were not. In fact, they could be observed by centralized internet service providers (ISPs).
