navigator.serviceWorker is apparently undefined in private mode. Added a quick fix to set it to a blank object instead, but should be fine for now.

Looks like, possibly related to the closed issue, there's still an issue with the serviceWorker object when the extension is enabled. It breaks a lot of forums, such as https://forums.insynchq.com and https://forum.manjaro.org. They stop loading, resulting in a blank page.

Console shows an error in the JavaScript: TypeError: navigator.serviceWorker.getRegistrations is not a function

The error isn't there when the extension is disabled. (I'm on an Ubuntu variant of Linux)

This add-on worked on my previous android phone, but not on my new one.

The page https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/hide-private-mode/ is telling me that it is not availible on android. I have version 68.8.0.

Thanks for making this extension, it's really useful! Just wanted to report that Washington Post seems to have found a way to block this extension. Is there any way to update it as a workaround?

here is an example why it does not fully work

Would it be possible to add support for running this add-on on Firefox for Android?

Twitch live stream will not load in private mode with extension enabled.

I have the extension version 0.0.6 enabled for private browsing mode in firefox and this page opens up a nag screen that it has detected incognito mode when I right-click the link to open it in a new private window:

I have been using this on the New Yorker page successfully for a long time. It worked on 6-Aug-2020, but on 7-Aug I got a pop-up:

"You’ve disappeared. You've disappeared. To continue using a private window, sign in or subscribe. Become a New Yorker subscriber, cancel anytime."

Just thought you'd might like to know...

This extension causes permalinks to tweets and Instagram posts to not load properly in private browsing. Instagram displays a nearly blank page, while Twitter does not load links (including link preview cards and links to bigger versions of images). I'm sure it's this extension because after disabling it and performing a hard refresh, the pages load normally.
