Comment (by cypherpunks):
I'm not convinced that disabling bookmark backups is a good idea, but it
might make sense to reduce the number of backups that are kept by default.
It is entirely possible that the SQLite database can get corrupted, and if
you're not manually backing up your bookmarks, you'd lose of all of them.
Tying this to private browsing mode doesn't make any sense to me, because
bookmarks are kept regardless of this setting.
