Private Window remembers cookies

To reproduce on macOS 10.15.6 (19G73), Version 1.12.112 Chromium: 84.0.4147.125 (Official Build) (64-bit)

  1. File -> New Private Window
  2. Go to http://sfchronicle.com
  3. Log in
  4. Close window
  5. File -> New Private Window
  6. Go to http://sfchronicle.com

Expected behavior:

  • I’m not logged in to http://sfchronicle.com, because private windows aren’t supposed to remember cookies or any other state.

Actual behavior:

  • I’m still logged in as I was in Step 4.
