[ext] Private Tab (no restart)

[Starquest]

Thanks for the quick reply. Good to know it's at least being discussed.

Babelzilla is a good place in my opinion and my experience there as
a translator.
So, why not to register your extension there? Think about

Oh, finally I do this: http://www.babelzilla.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=7393

1. For a better quality of dialogs in case of disable/uninstall, if it's possible,
you should handle separately singular/plural, based on how many private
tabs are open (one or more than one).
This is important in some languages.

I use a private tab to open my web-based feed reader and download podcasts. I always forget that I'm downloading something and close the private tab. Could you add an option to show a warning before closing a private tab when there's an active download?

Suggestion : A blacklist for the sites that should converted automatically to private tab .

PS : it's enough to restore the window then maximize it again to fix it .

(from here)

This list should be stored somehow. This doesn't looks "private". Or this list should be encrypted...
Anyway, it's not so easy to implement this. And this may be done in other extension: Private Tab should detect third-party tabs in private mode.

Also blacklist may use some hash function, but I'm not sure about performance in this case (because hash should be cached or calculated for each page request).
And there is some problems with implementation, see https://github.com/Infocatcher/Private_Tab/issues/39#issuecomment-16869015.

Are you use some extension/style to change App button appearance?
Please provide also screenshot of App button in non-private tab.

You can try set extensions.privateTab.fixAppButtonWidth preference to false (in about:config page).
App button in private state will be wider, but this also enables autosizing of place for button.

Hello Infocatcher,

I have a suggestion for you. Can you create "Private Bookmark", a bookmark that always open with one click in a private tab (bookmark underlined).

I like your add-on very much. Thanks a lot.

I'm not sure, is there a way to highlight some bookmarks somehow.
And even just private bookmarks, without visual highlighting, looks hard to implement and maintain.
So my current answer is may be later, but only if I found some simple way to do this.

Currently you can't – you can only open new private window using -private command line option.

I'll probably implement a custom protocol like "private:///#https://addons.mozilla.org/" to open links in private tabs, but I'm not sure about security and possible side-effects. Therefore, no concrete promises for now.
