User reviews

Purple Private Windows is praised for clearly distinguishing private windows with attractive purple tones and simple functionality. However, some users note that the add-on changes the colors of tabs and menus in non-private windows, which can be undesirable. A few users also suggest minor visual improvements for a more polished look.

Pros

Clearly indicates when you are in a private window, improving user experience.
Simple and effective functionality that works as advertised.
Visually appealing with beautiful purple shades that suit private browsing.

Cons

Changes colors beyond private windows, affecting tabs, address bar, and menu in normal windows.
Some users feel the appearance is a bit odd or could be refined (e.g., rounding the address bar).
