Feature request: new Private window

[mlogic]

With Firefox I always keep at least two windows open: one for non-private, one for private. All new tabs opened in the private window are automatically private. I haven't yet found a way with Brave to do this. Please consider add a new feature for opening a Private window, in which all new tabs are automatically private. Thanks.

Duping to #597

I think this one is different it is for private window only.

Shipped

This was not shipped. We have shipped Private tab, not Private Window (where every tab should be opened in a private mode and no browsing data is saved).

This is still pretty useful in that a user sometimes just wants a complete workspace (window) to perform private actions and then close it all in one swoop. No risk of entering basic browsing mode from it. It's a bit of a different use-case than our per tab private browsing which is mostly jus for a single page load and then you want to close it.

I also think this would be useful. Even as basic starting point it would be nice to have an option in the File menu for "New Private Window" which launches a private window. The user can then open private or non-private tabs after that. I believe this is how Chrome works. Right now it's a little annoying to open a new window, then make a private tab, then close the default non-private tab that comes default with the new window.

Marking as wontfix and closing. When we move to Brave Core (forked Chromium UI instead of Electron/Muon), we'll get this behavior by default
