| 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. |
