unrelated, but ccleaner basically became ad/spy/malware years ago, didn’t it?
I used it a lot around 2010, on windows
Yeah, over a decade ago. It was so useful around 2010 though.
Yes. Bleachbit is the alternative
I have never noticed files missing from the Downloads folder after closing private, on either Windows or Linux side. Not that I save stuff a lot, but I would think by now it would have happened to me once if it was normal behavior for so long.
On the other hand, Android nightly seems to have a bug where it deletes the file if I close it through recent apps rather than back button on homepage.
Do you use private windows by standard? I don’t, so I’m not surprised that I would not download anything. A per download notification might be better if it is rare.
Not normally, mainly for use when a page seems suspicious or when I don’t want the cookies to persist and change my browser history. I think it’s a good change, as it gives the user a choice each time, I just found it odd that it was always a default behavior (it implies, maybe it wasn’t), and I’ve been using Firefox since version 1.0 from being a Netscape user and never ran across it.
Personally, I don’t think I’d be downloading something when I’m incognito. However, I’d be surprised if it self deleted. I think giving the user the option is better, but my point is that if it is a rare occurrence, then perhaps a non persisting option is better (a remember my choice tick box is still an option).
