Description

We currently set DDG as the default search engine for Tor Window but don't give the user the capability to switch the default search engine. If you pick another search engine from the list, it will just switch back to DDG and won't accept the users change.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. launch brave and open a new Tor Window via Profile menu -> Open Tor Window
  2. once opened, click on Search preferences
  3. attempt to pick something else from the Search engine used in the address bar
  4. Go into chrome://settings/searchEngines and attempt to make another engine the default

Actual result:

defaultsearch

Expected result:

Users should be able to change their default search engines under Tor and shouldn't be forced to use DDG which is set as default.

Reproduces how often:

100% reproducible when going through the above STR.

Nope, different implementation in b-l. Used Tor tabs rather than a Tor Window.

Version 1.58.135 on Linux. Both search engines set to DuckDuckGo in settings. When I open a Tor window Brave search engine is opened instead. Regression?
