Any change to this list as of today's date?
Also, is Tor (Windows) supported?

This is still the current list:
Even though Brave isn't officially supported, at least shown as an option, but since it is Chromium-based you can enable TrafficLight, Anti-Tracker and Password Manager.
With TrafficLight, you need to switch from Brave Search to Google to get the TrafficLight icons to appear. Anti-Tracker I couldn't see it blocking anything, so it may be a Brave setting hindering it. Password Manager works fine.
As far as Tor, that will probably never happen. Bitdefender needs to keep its time and resources focused on the more widely used browsers.
Kind regards,
Scott

Thank you. Absolutely no chance I'll use Google :). Too many privacy concerns. One of Brave's attributes is privacy, so I'll either use their search engine or a more privacy focused search engine.

Yep, I absolutely understand that and agree, it is one of the main reasons to use Brave. Just thought I'd put it out there, and thanks for acknowledging my post with a Like :)
