I noticed recently that some files I downloaded while in private mode just vanished. The files in question were books and articles I wanted to read, and I had saved them in advance. Lo and behold, once I looked for them to read them, I found that they vanished. What happened was that a new feature was introduced, where downloaded files from private sessions would be deleted after the session was closed. I was never asked about this. I was at least able to find the option in the settings to disable it once I realized what happened, but why was I never asked even once? I don't know how other people use the private windows, but I like to play music in them sometimes or look into a specific topic, without being bombarded by the same in my YouTube algorithm later. So I also end up looking things up in those tabs as well out of habit. I have no idea any more which articles I had saved, and I have no way of finding out what they were. It is little annoyances like these which interfere with my everyday processes that get to me the most. At least introduce a temporary bin or a list of the deleted file names, if not the files themselves.
