Description

When using the Tor or I2P proxy options in the |Proxy| tab (the one with None, Tor, I2P and Custom), and then going to |Page -> View Source| the app crashes (be it on any web page or even on a new tab).
The only way to use |View Source| with Tor or I2P, is to configure and use the Custom proxy, or a VPN.

Also, when connecting to Tor with |Proxy -> Tor| if Orbot is working but doesn't have active the option Allow Background Starts, the popup "Waiting for Orbot to connect" doesn't go away naturally (or it doesn't detect Orbot correctly).

Also also, if using another application to access Tor or I2P, such as TorServices or InviZible Pro, the popup "Proxying through Orbot/I2P will not work unless the Orbot/I2P app is installed." is really annoying as it constantly popup when switching from something else back to Privacy Browser, despite having access to both networks. A way to fix this would be to offer an option to "Never show this again".
