"Private browsing ... users who want to start anew need to close all private browsing windows and launch a new one to do so"
-
therube
i often wondered if that was "sufficient", or simply opening a new, different Private Window was OK.
-
therube
i'm going to have to test the behavior (in SM)

therube the most useless feature in a browser. They will track you anyway.

what's that Private Browsing? i don't use it for "privacy" reasons.
-
therube
but if i'm opening a trash site, i'm likely to use Private Window. or if i'm testing multiple logins to the same entity kind of thing...
-
therube
heh. even the link i posted, i opened in a Private Window ;-)
-
frg_Away
If I want to open a trash site I use a vm and the most generic browser possible.
-
therube
had the weirdest thing happen yesterday.
-
therube
i opened,
costco.com/CatalogSearch?dept=All&keyword=candy, heh - in a Private Window (no less), & got a 'Secure Connection Failed' message (& the site did not load, obviously). 'Try again' also failed.
-
therube
opened the same link in a regular window, & it loaded.
-
therube
opened a new Profile & the link opened both in regular & Private modes.
-
therube
(left browser open)
-
therube
today, i hit 'Try again' - in Private Window, & no 'Secure Connection Failed' message & the site loaded. odd.
-
therube
well, to me, Private Browsing is essentially a VM

I have been tryint o use SM2 days ago, and I have seen plenty of sites, not rendering properly, wrong locations of elements on pages, maybe in corellation with old Noscript, even I enabled important scripts..

Any info on maybe SM3 web suite development with the newer Gecko and else.. ?
-
therube
hopefully never ;-)
-
nikolam
therube, for SM2 it's probably like that.. ;)
-
therube
contrary to what was surmised above (at least how i understand it) - at least in FF 115esr, simply closing all "Private Windows" does not then allow you to have a "new set" of Private Windows.
-
therube
from what i can tell, an actual browser restart is required.
-
therube
as it is, i log in - Private, then close all Private Windows, then open a new Private Window, visit same site, & i'm still logged in.
-
therube
so if FF implements such a "clear Private" button, that would be useful, IMO. (Now, given that it would happen, later, given that FF 118 won't even run [on my end] in Win7, i'll never see that feature.)

nikolam_: no, the path forward is to backport at least some of these newer features as needed, as that becomes possible
-
njsg
nikolam_: note that while the version is still 2.53.*, it already includes stuff from 60 and beyond
-
njsg
I don't mean everything, I mean some things are already in. There might even be things 2.53 has that 2.57 doesn't have.

therube
looking again, it did seem to "clean up" - without restarting the browser, so at this point, not sure - unless something "leaked"?
