Mac Safari: "Open Link in New Private Window" not working

In Safari (macOS Sequoia 15.5), one has the option of right-clicking a link while maintaining the option key to select "Open Link in New Private Window".


When I do it, a new private window is indeed opened but the linked page does not open. The private window stays blank.


Does it work on your end? Any idea why it wouldn't;t on mine?

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately the solutions did not work: the "Open Link in Private Window" still opens a new empty private window.


I'm suspecting a bug in Safari 18.5 as I'm not seeing the issue in Safari Technology Preview Release 222. All my settings are the same in both versions of Safari.
