Steps to Reproduce

1. Launch 0.23.19
2. Navigate to about:brave
3. See Tor version listed.
4. Close 0.23.19
5. Launch 0.23.31
6. Navigate to about:brave

Actual result:
Tor version is not listed:

Expected result:
Tor version should be listed

Additional Information

We get the tor version by talking to the tor daemon. If there's no tor daemon yet because it's lazy-loaded, we don't know its version yet. Is this a problem? Do we need to have the tor version sooner?

[bsclifton]

@riastradh-brave I think it's OK to not have the Tor version immediately (I kicked it out of this release). Maybe this issue can track making it more elegant. ex: show (not loaded yet) for when the daemon hasn't been loaded

Definitely something we won't fix- but something good to keep in mind when Tor is implemented in brave-core
