+/**
+ * Test: browser_identityPopup_clearSiteData_privateBrowsingMode.js
+ *
+ * This browser-chrome test verifies that the "Clear Site Data" controls
+ * (button and footer) in the identity popup are correctly hidden in
+ * private browsing mode.
+ *
+ * The test opens a private browsing window, loads a known HTTPS page
+ * (`https://example.com/`), opens the identity popup via the identity
+ * icon, and checks for the visibility of:
+ *
+ * - `identity-popup-clear-sitedata-footer`
+ * - `identity-popup-clear-sitedata-button`
+ *
+ * Expected behavior:
+ * These elements should not be visible while in private browsing mode.
+ *
+ * The test uses `BrowserTestUtils.withNewTab()` to load the page in a new
+ * tab within the private window and ensures cleanup of both the tab and
+ * window after the test completes.
+ *
+ */
