Private browsing mode doesn't currently get special treatment.

There are two major aspects to consider: 1) the whitelist, and 2) the allowed/blocked request information maintained internally so that RequestPolicy knows what to show in the menu.

I think the easiest thing to do that could be considered expected behavior would be to have anything added to the whitelist during private browsing be temporary and have leaving private browsing mode remove all temporarily whitelisted items.

The internally maintained request data is harder to deal with. One option would be to make a copy of internal data when entering private browsing mode and restore that copy when leaving.
