Details

(report from a user through the contribute form)

Under Windows, whenever we open a window, the title of the page appears in the taskbar, even if this is a private browsing window, and even if the window is minimized. Consequently, someone watching over the shoulder can guess the website currently visited by the user, even if in a minimized private window.
