7 months ago Sorry for the (huge) delay in responding, but this question is a bit out of scope, and should be probably asked to Stem developers.
I suspect the difference is due to how tor behaves when run with Stem vs. when run with the tor binary that comes with Tor Browser bundle.
During the simple use of geckodriver, I found some confusing places. Specifically, when accessing duckduckgo.com on a separate tab when using a script, I grabbed the corresponding port by analyzing the PID number of tor process, and a number of 9001 ports of different IP addresses were established to connect with the local, which is not in line with the behavior of tor browser. I conducted a control experiment. When I manually click tor browser, only one IP port 9001 will appear to establish contact with the local (even if I visit the tabs of multiple different websites)
This is the code I use: ` import tbselenium.common as cm from tbselenium.tbdriver import TorBrowserDriver from tbselenium.utils import launch_tbb_tor_with_stem
tbb_dir = "/home/xmy/tor-browser-linux64-11.0_en-US/tor-browser_en-US/" tor_process = launch_tbb_tor_with_stem(tbb_path=tbb_dir)
with TorBrowserDriver(tbb_dir, tor_cfg=cm.USE_STEM) as driver:
with TorBrowserDriver(executable_path="/usr/bin/geckodriver") as driver: driver.load_url("https://duckduckgo.com")
driver.load_url("https://check.torproject.org")
tor_process.kill() ` This is the port that appears when analyzing the corresponding PID number of the browser: You can see that the local IP: 192.168.183.131 is connected to 185.117.82.71:9001 and 76.31.229.76:9001 respectively
