There's a privacy issue here, though, so it should be possible to switch it off. And perhaps eww should have a porn, I mean anonymous, modeBTW, I think using "porn" as a humorous justification for secrecy is detrimental since it promotes the view that secrecy is only used for objectionable activities, along the lines of "I don't need secrecybecause I have nothing to hide".
Note that these "anonymous" modes that modern browser implement really only serve to hide one's browsing history from family members and flat/room/office mates that you share your computer with. It has nothing to do with secrecy or anonymity on the internet. So porn-mode really isn't that much of a misnomer.
