Hamburger menu items

Is there any purpose to the “New private window” item in the hamburger menu?

Also, the “New Identity” and “New Tor Circuit for this Site” labels break the consistency with other items which have only the first letter of the string capitalized.

Hi @pseudonymous!

Is there any purpose to the “New private window” item in the hamburger menu?

There shouldn’t be any practical difference between “New window” and “New private window” so long as “Always use private browsing mode” is still enabled, which should be by default. However if you were to turn that option off (which we don’t recommend), new windows would save your browsing history whereas new private windows would not.

Also, the “New Identity” and “New Tor Circuit for this Site” labels break the consistency with other items which have only the first letter of the string capitalized.

Good catch, I’ll open a ticket for that :slight_smile:
