User Reviews
Works great, but please, add the option to auto-close (or not to open) the tab in standard (non-private) window. Currently, when I open a webpage listed in settings, it opens the page both in normal window and in private window.

Is Always Open Privately Safe?
Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.
Always Open Privately requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.
