When I was logged into google and even when I close the browser and start it newly and choose private browsing. Going to google automatically logs me in. So the cookies in private browsing mode are loaded from my normal browsing session. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Load and login to google or any other site storing cookies 2. Go to private browsing mode and go to the same site Actual Results: It loads the same cookies Expected Results: It should not load the cookies from my normal browsing session and should store cookies if necessary in a dummy file which gets deleted after private browsing mode is turned off.
I'm sorry I fear this problem comes from kdelibs. We probably won't be able to fix until kde 5.0
Hmm... what if you disable cookies completely (there is a setting for this) when ever private mode is activated ? It would prevent loading the old cookies. The downside would be that new cookies would not be able to be stored even not temporary. But its definitely a better solution than now.
Sorry. Clicked to move by accident... restoring position in rekonq bugs
Git commit e3b8ece1ce004f2049481ceb668bf05ad3ae99f7 by Andrea Diamantini. Committed on 16/12/2012 at 17:04. Pushed by adjam into branch 'master'. "Workaround" cookie management in private browsing mode >From the note in webpage file: I'm sorry I really cannot let KIO work as needed in private browsing mode. The problem is basically cookie related. This way we lose some features in private browsing mode, but we ensure PRIVACY! This change cannot be reverted until a proper fix for KIO (or the right workaround for rekonq) will be found.
