Comment (by sysrqb):

 With this said, I'm more in favor of deleting the SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW
 permission. The tab queue is not enable by default, and this is only a
 pretty UX feature. I like pretty UX features, don't get me wrong, but this
 seems excessive and I don't think this is something we want in a private
 browser.
