How to open a new Private Window in Min?

Open ruanjiasing opened this issue 3 years ago • 4 comments

Min seems not support Private Window. Only Private Tab is supported. Private Tab has it own drawback. If I logged in in one Private Tab if I open a link from this tab in a new Private Tab then on that new Private Tab I'm not logged in. It seems Private Tabs are independent to each other.

I will close all of my submitted issues since the developer is obviously don't care and will not answer me. What a waste of time!

You couldn't have summed up the frustration of submitting issues to this browser better. It's truly one of a kind!

As far as I know it should be a pretty easy fix to use the same session across the private tabs and even "delete" (it doesn't work like that in reality) the session when all private tabs are closed and use another session for new batch of tabs.

The separation of sessions across tabs is intentional; it lets you do things like have account A open in one private tab, and account B in another. It would be unfortunate to lose that, unless we implemented something like Firefox's container feature to replace it (which is a more complex project).

For this issue, what we probably want to do is track the relationship between parent and child tabs, so that the child tab inherits the same session as the parent. Although that would get confusing if you then navigate to a different domain in the child tab, since we need to destroy the BrowserView then and create a new one with a new session.

I get that it's frustrating, but I don't see a good solution to it. There's no commercial backing behind this (although there are a few people who sponsor me to work on this, which is great!); this is just something I do in my free time, which is something I don't have a lot of (after school/work/other commitments). Meanwhile, I have 91 unread notifications sitting in my Github inbox, 13 of which are from the past week. Just writing a response is 5-15 minutes per issue depending on complexity, and then actually solving one of those issues is usually 1 or more hours.

During June and July, I had almost no time available and didn't accomplish much as a result; that was temporary and should get better now. But even so, me being able to write a thorough response to and fix every issue is not going to happen, because doing that would be a full-time job (or more).
