Hi, I noticed that Mull browser temporarily stores high quality snapshots of websites in its thumbnail folder( Root directory ) when using private browsing mode, while other cache data is stored in memory. I’m a bit concerned about the privacy implications of this. Firefox focus doesn’t seem to have a similar folder in its directory (couldn’t find). Is there a way to adjust the configuration to prevent this from happening? Any guidance would be appreciated.
I did some testing and it’s ‘Not A Mull Issue’.
On Android, Firefox OG, nightly, Tor Browser (Image file extension is changed but still image can be open with file manager),Fennec etc. + most Chromium based browsers including BRAVE have this issue in their private browsing modes. Website snapshots are taken and stored on disk temporarily to be used as tab view thumbnails.
**Firefox Focus and its Nightly don’t have this issue since they are single tab browsers. Firefox Focus Nightly + about:config, disk cache disabled seems to run all cache files in memory.
