CyberArchon This means that Safari (and Orion) differentiate between when a new tab is initiated by a website (ie you left-click a target="_blank"
link that opens in a new tab) vs when a new tab is initiated by a user (you command-click to force the link to open in a new tab).
If the user initiates the new tab, it won't carry over the session. If the website initiates the new tab, it will. At least that's what I've been able to gather.
Also, I just want to chime in here, as session-shared across different Private tabs is a feature that I am looking for (moving from Chrome to Orion).
While I ultimately agree that the current behavior of Private tabs (which matches the behavior of Safari Private tabs) is superior in terms of privacy, I do still wish this was a setting that could be toggled to change this behavior. It's not high priority for me, it just means I'll continue to use Chromium for private sessions, and Orion for everything else. Not the biggest deal.
