- s_gourichon 7y agoIsn't it what the "private browsing" option of Firefox does?
- DavideNL 7y agoMostly, yes. The bonus is you don't use your normal settings + extensions. Which also means ALL websites work, regardless of privacy related settings that might break some websites. So it's a handy alternative.
- pferde 7y agoMine has the advantage of the browser processes not having access to anything important, in case of a RCE vulnerability. An attacker would just see a vanilla debian install with no juicy user data, and only the ~/Downloads directory linked from my "real" system.
