Stephanie Wilson has made a note to fix the examples of checkboxes vs. switches in the design guidelines. <https://design.ubuntu.com/apps/building-blocks/selection>

Using a "Restore previous session at startup" setting for "throwaway sessions" is awkward in several ways: it's not at all obvious that that's what it's for; either it doesn't clear your history+cookies, therefore satisfying only part of the use case, or it's not obvious that it does clear them; it doesn't let you have throwaway tabs and persistent tabs open at the same time; and having it as a setting is optimized for people who always or never use the browser that way, and not for people who *sometimes* use the browser that way. All those issues could be resolved by replacing it with a private/incognito area with its own set of tabs, cookies, and history that expires when you close its last tab. But that's a matter for another bug report.

The remaining toolkit issue for this bug report is switching labels to wrap their text by default, ellipsizing it only if the app specifically requests it. This might require changes in System Settings Wi-Fi and Bluetooth screens.
