Delete Branch "master"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?
I don't know of any way to pull this info remotely via javascript or otherwise. But it was a bit surprising to see a list of my previouslly closed tabs even while using private browsing. As seen here.
Indeed, that is quite disconcerting - thank you for bringing it up!
I do not use Firefox personally, so I'll leave it up to @privacytoolsIO to review this one.
Just a couple of suggestions:
And one concern:Hm. It sounds like the history is stored for the duration of the session. I imagine this is required to power the "undo" button. If you setmax_tabs_undo = 0
, does the "undo" button still work? If it does, someone could still see your session history by hitting the "undo" button. It would also mean the history is still stored in memory (although the browser security model won't allow access via JS, I am sure). If the "undo" button does not work, then this sounds like it comes at too high of a cost to usability and probably is not something to recommend by default.I just re-read the issue and was reminded that this issue pertains to recently closed tabs, not recent history - sorry for the misunderstanding.
Thanks for the suggestions Alex, I modified the wording a bit.
