Tor Browser tends to be more slower than Brave on Tor private tabs, plus I have shitty internet connexion, so I have been using Brave with Tor mode to browse BF.
Is it safe from an OPSEC perspective to do so? I try to limit my tracks by not maximizing the windows etc, but still kind of worried about it.

I'm guessing this is a good way to visit the site...

Use Tor Browser, it's hardened Firefox - You will know if somebody is using Brave by the User-Agent.

There is a feature (privacy.resistFingerprinting.letterboxing) which solves this issue.

Brave don't care for privacy, use LibreWolf.
