<p>I have, but very rarely. I could count on one hand how often I’ve needed to dig back more than half a decade ago.<p>Back when I used Gmail I just kept everything personal and work related but when I moved away and started paying for email storage I took a different approach. It didn’t make sense for me to pay considerably more storage for something I almost never use.<p>I ended up backing up all of my emails outside of the last 5 years and stored them on an offline drive where I can reference them as eml files if I ever need it.<p>Going forward once a year I’ll export and purge the oldest year in my account.</p>

<p>I always thought the feature sounded interesting - but - Nord just isn’t a company that screams trustworthy to me, so I never bothered to try it. I’d definitely never store my passwords with them. I’m surprised that’s not their least used feature.</p>

<p>Last time I looked into it — last year - the only one I found was Temporary Containers and from what I read the developer unfortunately passed away.<p>Glad to see someone forked it though, I might give that a try again.</p>

<p>I am, yes. It worked as I described up until I think October of last year.<p>I’m logging in and out of client accounts - often for services that don’t do delegate access - so private windows work nice for me to make sure that I’m always cleared out of what I was working on before changing to a different project. Often I copy things in private windows that aren’t secrets, it just happens to be how I used the feature.<p>Containers and Profile are great - but - I’m not trying to have 50+ of them at work, much easier to flip open a private window.<p>I acknowledge my usecase is unusual and for most I think the feature makes sense - I just want to be able to turn it off, an about:config would be fine.</p>

<p>Does Firefox still block clipboard history apps from accessing private windows with no way to turn it off? Haven't used Firefox since that change.</p>

<p>I'd say that's lucky. I'm using "Masked Email" on Fastmail with a personal domain and I <i>still</i> find that I get blocked from signups from time to time. I assume they're looking for some sort of pattern?</p>
