#12Huh. I had a conversation with a Tor developer on this topic about a decade ago, when network namespaces were still kind of a new hotness - the feedback I got was that it would be an easy way for people to think they were being secure while still leaking a bunch of identifiable information, so I didn't push that any further.

#13Isn't all this reserved to TCP, in other words in which way may it protect non-TCP activity?

#14The DevEx is beautifully done here i.e it’s idiot-proof! Nice work to the people behind this <3
It’s really, really not. Idiots are ingenious. The operational care to use this in ways that preserve anonymity is beyond most users.

You always could by just setting the proxy environment variables (or in settings). The standard port for the tor daemon is 9050.
In fact, it's relatively easy to write a socks proxy that lets you route traffic through a arbitrary protocols. For example, I can serve/visit websites on syncthing with a socks5 proxy as a translation layer: https://github.com/acheong08/syndicate

Non-TCP activity wouldn't route and will fail to send.

What do you mean by leak usernames? It would leaks that a username uses tor. It would still leak that all of the usernames connecting to the same IRC host would be the same person. IRC seems pretty dangerous if you want to remaining anonymous considering how many people are logging disconnection times allowing them to be correlated with other network disruption events.
Irssi iirc used to default your username to your system username, so noobs would leak their given name by accident. After seeing that I changed my username in Linux to always be the most common username
root?

What is the most common Linux username though? Obviously you don’t want to do your regular work as root. And guest has its own issues. Is there a “common name”?
root

You can, but please don’t do this, you’ll stick out even more! Tor browser has a series of anti fingerprinting strategies that chrome doesn’t

Does Brave attempt to mimic any of these anti fingerprinting strategies? Asking because it has a "Private tab with Tor" feature
