removing private browsing

I gotta ask... why isn't there a setting to remove private browsing on firefox? Now yeah sure it's free security but we got add ons for that. I've always felt like private browsing and incognito stuff is just a way to go to pornhub feeling secured from criticism. That's why I quit Chrome (+ being able to watch YouTube with ads for free) so I gotta ask again... why isn't there a setting to remove private browsing on firefox?

Hi

There is not a setting to turn off private browsing, but it is worth mentioning that it does not make your web traffic private, only the history of that traffic in Firefox for Android.

To: Paul I said FEEL safe from criticism not you ARE safe from criticism. Now here's a explanation on how the process of simping is

1. Internet is very addictive causing people to not go outside.

2. The people WONT go outside meaning they will FEEL very lonely (I'm talking no girl/boy wanting you kinda lonely)

3. With them not feeling like a girl/boy wants them they will start simping for anime girls/boys, girls/boys, BODYPILLOWS!? and MANY more

How this process is a reason for private browsing to not be a thing: When simps hear "private" on a browser they will immediately flock over there.

Why do they want to feel safe from criticism when simping? The internet practically knows that porn and simping is bad so when these simps want to simp but WANT to still keep a healthy profile they will try to find anything that SOUNDS "private"

So in conclusion: I want private browsing to be taken off!!! By: BenjiTheHunterYT

Enterprise administrators can use a "policy" to block private browsing on managed computers (in the workplace, for example) --

-- and maybe parents could do this within a household if they are handy with Windows administration.

I don't think Firefox for Android has these management features, although maybe it has some. Alternately, maybe an add-on could block it. Either way, would someone you are concerned about take steps to block themselves from using private browsing?
