This is because of the changes here:
17b7cbe

The changes are good but it causes a problem since we have an outstanding bug where about: pages do not load in private tabs.

Options are:

  1. Get private tabs to work on private tabs.
  2. Add some hacky code for about: pages only for the did-fail-provisional-load event

In particular e.currentURL will be blank, but we could hack it to be the about: page if it is a private tab.

@bridiver thoughts? Would it be hard to get private tabs working with about: pages?

I'm going to try adding an API so we can have private tab extensions

Fix #7912

- Main frame loads are not allowed with spanning incognito mode, so
  changed to split.
  Sync shouldn't be allowed in incognito, so disabled that.
- Added handling in ledger to not log pages for private tabs.
