''Some (minor) pushback:''
* You have changed things at the bottom of tools, and over in File you put in a New Private Window. I liked tools just the way it was and did not know that you were going to make this drastic change. I have been trying to back to version 18 or 19 to get tools back the way it was. I would be happy if you could put me back to tools the way it was. Enough said..........

* I am still on the fence about the changes to "Private browsing". I think I might have preferred the all or none approach before. I don't understand the reason for the change, but can live with it.
