I have a project using JavaFX that would benefit from something like a private tab except for the WebEngine implementation. My use case is that the user may be accessing a web page with a WebEngine multiple times within a single instance of the application. I want each access to clear cookies, clear browsing history, clear cache, etc. just like a private browsing window would work in Chrome or Firefox. The application is a desktop application using AWT and Swing.

This question about WebView and cookies is very similar to the problems I'm attempting to solve. My thinking is that a full "private" browsing experience would just take care of not storing cookies and not caching without having to munge around with things like the CookieHandler.

This project is currently using JDK 8 using either the Oracle JDK or Coretto JDK. That does not preclude upgrading to a newer JDK if the features we want are available.

Is there a logical equivalent to a private tab in WebEngine or WebView?
