|
|
|
## What is PrivateBrowsing?
|
|
Messages shown inside `about:privatebrowsing` (incognito) content page. This messaging surface allows experimentation on content shown (promotion and info section) when new private window or tab is opened.
|
|

## Testing PrivateBrowsing
|
|
|
|
### Via the dev tools:
|
|
1. In the search tab go to `about:config`, set `browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.asrouter.devtoolsEnabled` to `true`
|
|
2. Open a new tab, in the search tab go to `about:asrouter`
|
|
3. On the left navigation, click on `Private Browsing`
|
|
4. This shows all example messages developed for `about:privatebrowsing` messaging surface
|
|
5. You can directly modify the message in the text area with your changes or by pasting your custom message JSON. Ensure that all required properties are covered according to the [Private Browsing Schema](https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/browser/components/asrouter/content-src/templates/PBNewtab/NewtabPromoMessage.schema.json)
|
|
6. To view message in private browsing window, click the circle to select respective message. Then hit the blue `Open a Private Browsing Window` at the top of the screen. This opens new private window with promotion and info section updated with custom message.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
7. To reset the chosen PrivateBrowsing window and choose another, click `Reset Message State` at the top of the screen
|
|
|
|
### Via Experiments:
|
|
You can test any `privatebrowsing` custom message UI by creating an experiment. [Messaging Journey](https://experimenter.info/messaging/desktop-messaging-journey) captures creating experiments via Nimbus.
