A streaming service is _not_ just a collection of your favourite songs. Content discovery and auto-playlist are some of the not so easily irreplaceable featured offered by the likes of Spotify. And anyway, the diss about ownership Vs renta

Wouldn't getting able to restore a recently closed tab even in private mode be somewhat similar to having your browsing history being kept, even if for that particular browsing session? I prefer this behaviour of limiting the browsing

You are not alone. I'd guess at least over 50% of folks here would have gone through a similar phase at some point in their lives (learning block wise). Based on my experience, especially over the past couple of years, I've realis
