Does anyone know how i can keep private mode enabled in Safari? Everytime i quit i have to enable it again and then i have to press ok. It sucks.
i have seen something you have to type into the terminal on this forum, but it didn't work for me.

Hmmm.. did quite a bit of searching and could find nothing! Found how to turn off private browsing permanantly so the option isnt available but could not find how to enable perm.

Might be a way to do it with AppleScript... have a script that opens Safari and selects that option? Not really sure though.

Not quite what you're after, but it's worth a look all the same. It's an AppleScript that effectively resets Safari without losing passwords. I guess it's no quicker than enabling Private browsing each time though. 🙂
