ironfox-oss/IronFox!109 ____ ## Changes - [Added missing Gecko icons/branding assets](90e371ec7c). - Added a toggle in settings that forces the browser to *always* use private mode *(similar to Firefox on Desktop)*. The setting is *disabled* by default, and is located at `Settings` -> `IronFox` -> `IronFox settings` -> `Privacy` -> **`Always use private browsing`**. - [Disabled Mozilla's new `Unified Trust Panel` by default](2eaa0c7c9a), as it prevents users from being able to control the cookie banner blocker on a per-site basis. - [Enabled Mozilla's new redesign for private browsing mode](43661d10a7) by default. - Fixed [an issue with `BankID` authentication](https://gitlab.com/ironfox-oss/IronFox/-/issues/213) on certain websites *(Thanks to [rajtsic](https://gitlab.com/rajtsic)!)*. - [Removed Mozilla's new `Clear Key` CDM](f9a0a07793). - Updated cbindgen to [`0.29.2`](https://docs.rs/crate/cbindgen/0.29.2). - Updated to Firefox [`146.0`](https://firefox.com/firefox/android/146.0/releasenotes/). - [Various tweaks to improve and refine the build process, as well as other minor changes, tweaks, and fixes](https://gitlab.com/ironfox-oss/IronFox/-/merge_requests/109/diffs).
