move private window with Tor new tab page support links inline to avoid CAPTCHAs #1647
Comments
Issue is reproducible on Windows.
|
CAPTCHAs are a bad look. Since we know that the links on the Tor new tab page are going to be opened in Tor, let's move them back to an inline overlay (no network) while we work to make sure the knowledge-base is accessible over Tor without any additional work needed from the user. |
FWIW opening links in the same tab don't run away from CAPTCHA. The best solution is to inline their content in a modal like what Tom said or use some other content block. Removing my assignment for now since this needs product/design spec first. |
Description
Support links within the
Tor
window are being opened in new tabs and not inline as per #1507. Because they're being opened in new tabs, you'll run into a lot of CAPTCHA checks. I've personally one through at least 20 CAPTCHA checks and haven't passed once. Every time I get the ✅, another CAPTCHA is loaded after the page is refreshed.Steps to Reproduce
0.55.16 Chromium: 70.0.3538.54
Tor
windowbrave://newtab
, click on the "Learn more" link which will load https://support.brave.com/hc/en-us/articles/360018121491 in a new tabActual result:
Expected result:
Should be opening inline as per #1507 rather than new tabs.
