I frequently need to open a page from my history in a private tab:
to see a product as if I were a newcomer or a different user; (I'm a web designer)
to avoid being tracked;
to view pages that use cookies to trigger paywalls
What I've tried

Opening private windows in Safari is more complicated than that—complicated enough that we can't expect every Alfred user who wants this feature to recreate it.
Why?
