I'm not sure if this is intended, but probably we should not expose DNS entries generated by private-browsing requests in about:networking.

Good point. Valentin what do you think? Should we not show them, or maybe even straight up not cache DNS for PB?

dns cache is not a permanent one. we can still cache responses.

Ah, I was confused and thought that we used to never show DNS entries from private browsing.
Instead, we just made sure to clear the cache when we exist PB mode (bug 1286621)
I think this is OK because:
- we clear the DNS cache once you close the last PB window, so old history is not leaked
- PB dns cache is still relevant for debugging - and it doesn't count as leaking if you still have the windows open.
