Stop opening private tabs on my cell phone

Stop opening private tabs on my cell phone

Chosen solution

I found the problem. I had accidentally touched the private purple "mask icon" in the top right of the browser on my Samsung s23 cell phone so it kept opening only a private browser. Then I realized if I tapped it again the "mask icon" turned to white color and private browsing default setting went away. Details and software attached.

Thanks, Mike Meyer
