Not GP, but I use the add-on because:

1. I want my history saved locally (private browsing deletes history on close). 2. Private browsing requires a new window; I want to have a private tab. 3. All tabs in a private browsing window share the same cookies, so I can still be tracked* within a session; I want a new container with each new tab.

*trivially. I'm well aware that I can still be tracked by fingerprinting, etc, and I have other add-ons to help protect against that.




> private browsing window share the same cookies

Not in Safari, to my experience


In Safari each incognito tab has separate cookies but in Chrome the cookies are shared across the entire incognito session across multiple tabs and even multiple windows.
