2023-09-07	Ivan	The add-on wasn't updated in a while and straight up breaks some sites
2022-05-27	BladeMaker	Seems to work on BiLD.De so that's good enough, not that i use that site but still annoying that they block you if you use private mode.
2022-05-06	snowice0	Previously 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
2021-12-24	Scott Martin (@hex)	The 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.

2020-06-09	atleta	Awesome. 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! :)
2020-04-30	LaSara	Hi Matt -- thanks, but some sites still detect private browsing, Amazon for example
