Hi Ehsan, I'd really like to get some clarity in what the purpose of the private browsing feature is supposed to be. Last we talked about this the answer seemed to be "it's different things to different people. Only thing that we agree on is that a private browsing window should not write data to the user's disk".
This doesn't seem like a good state of things given how privacy is one of the main focus areas for Firefox, and private browsing is our main feature in the privacy space. So I think it's quite critical that we figure out what we want this feature to be on a user level, and not just on a code level. / Jonas On Fri, Jul 10, 2015 at 6:43 AM, Ehsan Akhgari <[email protected]> wrote: > The Private Browsing module started its life under the Firefox module > <https://wiki.mozilla.org/index.php?title=Modules/Firefox&oldid=351420> and > then was unintentionally killed when we merged all of the modules under > Firefox. > > Since Private Browsing currently serves all of our products and as > experience has shown, it is tough to get it right all the time, I would like > to resurrect the module officially under Core this time. > > This module is special in the sense that its implementation is spread across > the code base because of the nature of the feature. > > Here is the details for the resurrected module: > > Name: Private Browsing > Description: Implementation of the Private Browsing mode, and the > integration of other modules with Private Browsing APIs. > Owner: Ehsan Akhgari > Peer(s): Josh Matthews > Source Dir(s): Implementation and consumers of Private Browsing APIs in > nsILoadContext, nsIPrivateBrowsingChannel, PrivateBrowsingUtils.jsm and the > related glue code. > Bugzilla Component(s): Firefox::Private Browsing > URL(s): https://wiki.mozilla.org/Per-window_Private_Browsing > Discussion Group: mozilla.dev.platform > _______________________________________________ > governance mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/governance _______________________________________________ governance mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/governance
