Firefox and Safari are both great browsers that come with a handy feature called "Private Browsing", and Mozilla has made it more accessible through a combination of "CTRL+SHIFT+P" hot keys shortcut, allowing us to close all our private browsing information in critical situation. But, have you ever forgotten to deactivate your private browsing session before you leave your PC? That's risky, knowing that someone might have the opportunity to look into your private world, and that's not comforting.
Don't worry, fortunately, a creative Firefox add-on developer called Bennett Dill has came out with a solution. The solution is named as "PB Exit". It is a small but useful extension that will force Firefox browser to end its private browsing session if your PC is left unattended for more than 10 minutes.
Though we know that 10 minutes is quite a long time and there might still be a risk for our fellow PC users, still we think that it is a great addition to your web browser to reduce risk of being spied at. We do hope that the developer will try his best to deliver his promise, as stated below:
"I will try to better detect idle and add settings in the future (e.g. custom idle time, only close specific domains instead of completely exiting private browsing)." -- Bennett Dill
