My addon is saving data associated with webpages to the storage:
- text from that page
- URL
- page’s title
These data are necessary for restoring highlights the user made.
If the current window is in incognito
mode a notification is being shown saying that being in private browser mode the addon can’t save private data (like URLs of visited pages).
I was wondering if this is the expected addon behavior or if I’m stricter than necessary?
The reason I’m asking is that I would rather not force the user to leave private mode for being able to store her/his changes, because it brings a bigger disadvantage (being not incognito) than advantage.
Would it be enough to notify the user that the addon is about to store private data (like URL of the corresp. page) - despite being incognito?
