Since the update, when I put on the private browser it shows a mask in the top of my phone u can't get off without closing the private tab, how do I fix this? Before the update I could switch from private tab to regular tab without anything showing on the top of my phone, now I can't hide it, please help, I don't want the mask on the top of my phone giving away the fact I have private tabs open

Hi

We use that icon for private browsing so that people know they are in a private session - this is so that people know the browsing history is not being retained.

I hope that helps.
