Comment (by gk):

 Okay, here comes the Private Browsing Mode part. The API got enabled in
 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1513021 (it's desktop only
 for now, the mobile bug is
 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1543720) but the bulk of the
 implementation got done in
 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1469714.

 The relevant method here is `Document::RequestStorageAccess()`
 (https://searchfox.org/mozilla-esr68/source/dom/base/Document.cpp#12711).
 It explicitly checks for Private Browsing Mode and rejects access in that
 case:
 {{{
   if (nsContentUtils::IsInPrivateBrowsing(this)) {
     // If the document is in PB mode, it doesn't have access to its
 persistent
     // cookie jar, so reject the promise here.
     promise->MaybeRejectWithUndefined();
     return promise.forget();
   }
 }}}
 (https://searchfox.org/mozilla-
 esr68/source/dom/base/Document.cpp#12790ff.)

 So, we are good from that point of view.
