Sign upIncorrect 'last_used' value in Local State file after using private window with Tor #3004
Comments

Tor is using guest profile so expected for now. |
I agree that this is good. The issue I'm trying to point out is after closing the Tor window and returning back to the regular "default" profile, the last_used value isn't updated to reflect that. It continues to remain "Tor Profile" instead of "Default" long after the user is not using the Tor window (even after restarting Brave). I'm not going to push this since I have a workaround (switching to the Guest profile and then back) for my users, but just wanted to provide a heads up since it may create compatibility issues with other external software like mine. |
Description
