- Rated 2 out of 5by Ivan, 3 years agoThe add-on wasn't updated in a while and straight up breaks some sites
- Rated 2 out of 5by BladeMaker, 3 years agoUsing it for years but i stopped using it because it's blocking twitch from fully loading, at this URL: twitch[.]tv/directory/game/Fortnite
I don't use Twitch much, but still, it's likely this extension is breaking many more websites. - Rated 2 out of 5by snowice0, 4 years agoPreviously the add-on (seemed to) work with no issues; however, recently (perhaps of previous firefox release pre-100) it started to break some websites - specifically I cannot login to Linkedin with the add-on running
- Rated 5 out of 5by Hex (🐦: @hex), 5 years agoThe Firefox bug allowing detection of private mode has been a significant problem for far too long (first reported ten years ago! #781982 on Bugzilla if you're interested) and it's very good to see that someone's implemented a solution while the browser developers are still getting their act together. Thanks Matt.

- Rated 5 out of 5by atleta, 6 years agoAwesome. I've just learned how some sites detect private mode and thought I'd check if someone has already created an extension before trying to hack it myself! :)
- Rated 3 out of 5by LaSara, 6 years agoHi Matt -- thanks, but some sites still detect private browsing, Amazon for example
Developer response
posted 6 years agoCan you submit an issue on GitHub with some more info? I don’t see any issue with Amazon, even when not using the extension. - Rated 5 out of 5by Michael Mc Donnell, 6 years agoWorks as advertised. I did a quick review of the code and there isn't anything nefarious in it, and it was easy to understand. Thank you Matt!
- Rated 5 out of 5by Jerry, 6 years agoWorks nicely! Thx
Tested under different sites and the TorZillaPrint page.
Also, please can you create a logo for your addon? ;) - Rated 5 out of 5by Ruane, 6 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by GeoDosch, 7 years agoWorks on "New Yorker" site. I got flagged for Private Browsing, found this add-on, and installed it. Went back to the site, and no more private browsing complaint!
**Make sure you enable it for running in Private Windows** Otherwise it kinda defeats the purpose of it! - Rated 5 out of 5by NotCompatible, 7 years agoFunktioniert wie erwartet. Erweiterung muss natürlich für den privaten Modus zugelassen werden.
