incognito

Hello. Reading the documentation in Firefox in incognito mode, I found that in this mode the browser stores data in RAM without affecting the disk. I would really like one of your projects to have such an opportunity.

WebView2 always uses some directory on the disk for the user data, even when you leave GlobalWebView2Loader.UserDataFolder empty.

You could set GlobalWebView2Loader.UserDataFolder to a directory on a RAM disk drive :

The incognito mode in WebView2 can be enabled by setting these properties before the TWVBrowserBase.CreateBrowser call :

• TWVBrowserBase.IsInPrivateModeEnabled := True;
• TWVBrowserBase.ProfileName := 'MyIncognitoProfileName';

If the browser follows these rules, will it delete the directories created by itself?

No but you can use this to delete all the cache, cookies, local storage data, etc :

Code: Select all

TWVBrowserBase.ClearDataForOrigin('*');

The RAM drive contents don't remain on the computer after rebooting.
