Purple Private Windows

By: WaldiPL
Private windows are now purple. When you open a new private window, the appearance of the other windows changes, so in the extension settings, select the theme you are using.

Features & Capabilities

Purple Private Windows is a Chrome extension that enhances your browsing privacy by applying a distinctive purple theme exclusively to private windows. This visual distinction helps you quickly identify when you are browsing in private mode without altering the appearance of your regular windows.

With customizable theme settings, you can select your preferred appearance to match your browser's look while keeping private windows uniquely tinted in purple. This simple yet effective tool improves your private browsing experience by making it visually distinct, ensuring you never confuse your private sessions with normal ones.

User Reviews

Users appreciate Purple Private Windows for clearly distinguishing private windows with attractive purple shades and its simplicity. However, multiple reviews note that it inadvertently changes colors in non-private windows and some design aspects could be refined for a better look.
Pros
  • Clearly distinguishes private windows from normal ones with a distinct purple shade.
  • Simple and works as advertised without issues.
  • Improves the visual appeal of private browsing mode.
Cons
  • Changes colors beyond private windows, affecting tabs, address bar, and menus in non-private windows.
  • Some users find the design elements (like address bar shape) could be improved or feel a bit odd.

Is Purple Private Windows 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.

Purple Private Windows does not require any sensitive permissions.
