Tor for InPrivate?

I just started normally browsing with Microsoft Edge, and it's awesome! But I still use Brave because it has Tor Private Browsing... If you could add a "Tor InPrivate" experience, that would be amaz...

Yeah, I also would like to see such feature in edge's InPrivate mode. It could be another In(Even)Privater mode so user can select what he wants 😉 Anyway this would surely be an amazing feature. I guess edge could even do it better than Brave (I mean that it is relatively easy to recognise that one uses brave when he uses tor)

Hi,
you can get TOR on InPrivate mode if you use this extension and from the settings allow it to be used in InPrivate mode.

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/proxy-switchysharp/dpplabbmogkhghncfbfdeeokoefdjegm

set the extension to point to the local host: 127.0.0.1 and port to 9150 (for SOCKS Host)

now launch TOR browser and let it find relays and connect, then minimize it, go to your Edge InPrivate window, click on that extension and select your new proxy settings and you're done.

    HotCakeX Yeah, I know I could do that. However I think that adding such possibility as 'native' feature would be much safer. E.g. because probably some anonymizing features would be added like fingerprint mangling etc. 

    So having such feature just out-of-the-box would be just a nice to have, also it would be surely something that would make Edge more special and/or attractive for new/coming back users.
