How to start sailfish browser (5.0) in private mode by default

Hi!
Anyone knows the about:config magics to be able to auto start the sailfish browser in private mode by default?
browser.privatebrowsing.autostart does not do the trick…

According to my information and knowledge this is not possible, see here

I use such an awkward workaround: in the browser settings I set up the home page about:blank. After starting the browser, I will see a “wrong” page, then I choose private browsing. I have to do this every time I start browser. :unamused:

Not sure when this got lost but it was possible with older browser/sfos releases. I had this config as default …

We could resurrect it from here Start browser always on normal browsing mode by rainemak · Pull Request #843 · sailfishos/sailfish-browser · GitHub. Instead of doing like it was before, we could have a setting toggle that would follow browser.privatebrowsing.autostart behaviour.
