The context menu for links in private tabs should only offer to 'Open in New Private Tab'. The option to 'Open in New Tab' should be hidden in private tabs to avoid accidental misclicks. The use case to open a non-private tab from within a private tab is rather unusual, IMO. Ian, any thoughts?
Makes sense to me. We are changing the string to read "Open in Private Tab" (removing the New) but I agree that this would probably help prevent misclicks, and that you are unlikely to "go public" by linking out of a private page
