Private window themes Our theme support is second to none but allowing you seemingly endless ways to colorize your windows has come at a price for some users.

@Ornorm Nice one!
Further improvements to our blocker rule support
"Our ad and tracker blocker arrived a couple of releases back but that is not the end of the story. We have been steadily adding support for more of the rules found in popular blocking lists.

Couldn’t test yet. But I’m curious, does that mean you finally stopped theming the addressfield and searchfield differently in private windows? Because this has been inconsistent since the beginning and still is full of mistakes.

@luetage Yes, it uses a whole new theme, and is consistent now.

I really like the new theme for Private Windows. Good job!

Built-in adblocker is a good thing.
But don't even think about dropping uBlock Origin support

I don't see the need for the "Private Theme" at all.
