I mean, the two reasons to use a private browser window are to 1) log into a service twice at the same time. 2) watch porn and not have it saved to your browser history.

  You can accomplish #1 with the Multi-Account Container extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/multi-account-containers/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/multi-account...

At least in Chrome or Edge. FF and Brave enable some basic tracking protection in private windows, and the latter also gives you the option of obscuring your IP adress with Tor.

    It certainly doesn’t compare to Tor’s anti-fingerprinting, disabling JavaScript, etc., but I think there’s a fair chance it might help decrease the likelihood of a situation like the OP’s by a bit.
