Milestone
In brave/brave-core#2647, to fix #4312, we lost some logic to block URL requests outside a small whitelist that are safe through Tor or don't need Tor:
We should find a place to restore that so that we do not inadvertently allow URL requests with schemes that are unsafe through Tor. (It is conceivable that all URL schemes are safe, but this seems unlikely and requires a much more substantial audit than we have conducted in order to inspire confidence.)
