  • Silently changing a behavior, especially one that is in other web browsers, is a bit user-hostile and I understand the frustration.

    On the other hand, privacy-wise this change is good, since it was likely storing the incognito tabs (browser state) in the app storage and was likely retrievable by forensics tools (ie: Cellebrite).

    I’d rather have the browser state of incognito tabs stored in RAM at all time.

    I feel like those affected are using incognito tabs as a way to separate their browsing history. Maybe a more convenient option would be the ability to run multiple browser sessions on mobile instead of falling back on the incognito mode as a workaround.
