The selection in your article for “private window” does not exist between “new window” and “incognito window”, I am missing something here?
Hi Joe, the private window and the incognito window is one and the same. The web browsers use these terms interchangeably which denotes the same feature.
I believe the Brave use the term “New Private Window” however, not sure why you’re find it as “Incognito Window”.
