iOS 17: Do you make it a point to use Safari’s Private Browsing? Supposedly Safari prevents cross-site tracking, but Private tabs give peace of mind for some reason.

Attached what I think are my relevant settings. I mainly use Safari for iCloud Private Relay.

Maybe it makes it harder for a site to track me if I’m using Private Browsing versus using the regular mode without clearing website data, eh?

Too bad Tab Groups don’t isolate cookies (and other data), seems like that would solve for some of my use cases. And too bad Private Tabs forget cookies when they’re not used for a while / you run out of RAM. That would also solve for some use cases.

I’d like to pin a dozen or so completely isolated tabs and have them always maintain my cookies. Because I can’t, I use Tab Groups for a few sites I use frequently, and launch a new Private Tab for everything else.
