Private Browsing does not save your browsing information, such as history and cookies
There’s a lot of things private browsing does not do (partly because there’s a lot more parts of the stack involved in privacy than just your web browser) but deleting cookies on exit is literally one of the things private browsing specifically does and is directly controlled by the browser
Hi, mod here.

Thanks for saying that. Yahoo tries to set millions of data harvesting cookies, it’s insane. Declining it means no video in this case.
This is the beauty of private tabs, they can set as many data harvesting cookies as they like, and the cookies are deleted when I close the window
Press X to doubt.
