Starting Orion on private mode and then switching to a regular new tab still shows private mode in the tabs menu.

ForeverAl

When users start Orion with private mode enabled, users will still see the private mode tab in the tabs menu momentarily when switching to regular new tabs.

Steps to reproduce:

Ensure the setting “Start Orion With” is set to “New Private Tab”
Close out the app completely to apply the setting
Open Orion (into the private tab automatically)
Click on tab groups to open a new regular tab
(Result)

See video:

Private mode tabs (and regular tabs) should not appear in its alternate mode in the tabs menu when switching tab groups.

The tabs and their modes should remain exclusive from one another.

ForeverAl The tab you are seeing in regular mode is not a private tab, its the newly created regular tabs, as previously there were zero tabs open. Only the thumbnail of start page is reused here. For example, if you load any url on the private tab and then try to switch on regular, you will going to see start page only, not the url you loaded.

Is that still not ideal however? One should expect to no longer see the private mode information card when switching to regular mode no?

ForeverAl we fixed that too in latest TestFlight build.

Was just sharing information that what exactly happening there, and it's not sharing any Private tab info, like if you open some website there, you will not see thumbnail of that in regular mode. It was only start page thumbnail which was share between both (however Start Page don't contain any different info), but still we fixed that to avoid any future confusion.

dino I understand.

However, it is not fixed. This is a video from the latest TestBuild.

Starting Orion automatically on private mode and switching tab groups still shows the private mode information card upon changing tab groups.
