Abstract

See full text

The embodiments set forth techniques for managing operational aspects of a web browser application relative to user privacy considerations. More particularly, the described embodiments provide techniques for mitigating webpage loading issues associated with a web browser application that implements privacy protection measures. The mitigation techniques include detecting a webpage loading issue, displaying a prompt that enables the webpage to be reloaded with reduced privacy protection measures, and reloading the webpage with the reduced privacy protection measures. The described embodiments also provide techniques for identifying conditions under which a web browser should be locked in association with providing private web browsing functionalities, locking the web browser under such conditions, and permitting the web browser to be unlocked when an acceptable authentication is performed. The described embodiments further provide techniques for providing user interfaces that enable the foregoing techniques to be implemented.
