      Unfortunately I have it installed to double-check things and occasional compatibility purpose. Believe it or not, sites have started to appear who work in Chrome but not Firefox. Solution is most likely perfectly simple but developers just don’t want to deal with it so I’ve been told “just use Chrome” few times in past few years.

        Not quite, in 2018 they did add tracking protection to their list of goals for their Private browsing mode and have implemented features to reduce tracking/fingerprinting/etc while in it. The main focuses though were still the same at the start though: protecting against local data being saved.

        https://wiki.mozilla.org/Private_Browsing

        We target Private Browsing to 3 privacy goals; in a Private Browsing session, Firefox:

        • Doesn’t save the browsing history or display it in the Firefox UI
        • Prevents the session’s data from writing to persistent storage
        • Protects the session’s data from online tracking
