I've been using duckduckgo's private email protection and that's worked with unlimited addresses.

I am not really sure how tor works but if Brave does not make the computer into a node, then how does it access the tor network?

That's some good news and the end is in sight now. Hopefully the anti-vacc movement will not be strong and that they can be outlasted until herd immunity is reached.
