[tor-talk] Tor Browser evolution mysteries

[anan]

Hi,

I remember Tor Broswer used to create a new circuit per tab. It had also
the "Create new circuit" button.

What happened?
How come I have now the same IP address on every tab?
How come the new-cicuit button is not there anymore?

I am also curious to know why the list of the three nodes being used per
circuit is not shown anymore.

Thank you.

Circuit isolation is not per tab, but per site.

For example, open two tabs, one with https://ipchicken.com/ and one with
https://wtfismyip.com/. The circuits should differ.

In the address bar, click the "i" symbol or the lock or the onion symbol
(depending on what kind of site you're on). You should see your circuit's
nodes as well as a button that lets you create a new circuit.

I would rather have circuit isolation per tab.

Right - It could increase privacy. However, it would break user
expectations regarding usability - If there is full cookie / circuit /
environment isolation between tabs, the general use case of many users
would lead to suffering and head-scratching.
