That's their custom code that's essentially just doing a try..catch in JS and setting a disabled property accordingly.  The problem is that a general exception trap is not sufficient - the private mode issue looks just like if you *actually* exceeded the available space for local storage.  So, this exception <> only private mode/storage disabled.

Oops! I didn't scroll further than what appeared to be the ideal
solution. Fair enough - the sample there is easy enough to replicate
for anyone who needs this, and they could set a global so the exception
doesn't need to be done more than once.
