to be clear, this is true when running Tor and the browser on the same computer, or having a Tor router / proxy appliance that you connect to as transparent proxy. in the latter case, you would still be best served by running a copy of the Tor Browser in "Transparent Tor" mode[0], which delegates routing through Tor to another service, while providing a browser environment with all of the useful protections[1] to avoid this very problem and many others. 0. "Tor Browser - Whonix" transparent proxy mode https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Tor_Browser NOTE: even in this mode, you may want to have the Tor router provide local access to the SOCKS port directly. 1.
