On the most common keyboards ctrl-q and control-w are just some mm away. In private browsing mode, this means that you just lose all information of the current session except those in your brain. Considering ctrl-w is propably the globally most used keybinding. This is not acceptable.

There will propably be folks uncomfortable with moving either away, so i propose adding a second keybind for 'close tab': ctrl-m - easy to remember if you know ctrl-w since its just inverted and current users do not need to readjust if they don't want to.

this is somewhat linked to #632271 as the problem would be lesser by some order of magnitude.
