There's a "disclaimer", at least when you first open the private image gallery, saying that the gallery is stored in your device only, on your browser cache. The problem: browser cache is often erased by the browser itself to clear up space.

For that reason, you must always save your images yourself, either in your device, or on cloud. Given the nature of your image, and many other reasons, I recommend always using local storage, since cloud services tend to be too annoying with what you save there (Google for example explicitly forbids saving NSFW on Google Drive, and anyone who does so is only surviving through luck and they may lose their files at any time).

In the end, this looks like to be a case of it, although...

Upon searching "internal error opening backing store for indexeddb.open" on Brave, their AI gave the following forms of prevention:

  • Avoid force-closing apps during database operations.
  • Ensure sufficient disk space and proper file system permissions.
  • Use app.requestSingleInstanceLock() in Electron apps to prevent multiple instances.

And the fixes often included restarts, reinstalls, clearing cache, and many other things that also including "erasing things".

Upon looking at your screenshot, I notice that there are 99 tabs open, and there's a chance there's more and this is only 99 because of the limit in digits. And based on the kind of people who does it, there's also a considerable chance that you also have many unused apps and even "open but not being used" "windows" on your device, which makes the situation worse.

Therefore, I have the theory that the issue was likely caused thanks to the sheer lack of space on your device/browser, which caused perchance to glitch and erase all your things (in case it didn't come back after countless restarts).

Therefore, besides "start saving your images on your device properly", I believe that you should also close this absurd amount of tabs, since they may cause many problems. In case you want to save them, bookmarks is a way better way to save things you want to take a look later.

Anyway, just a tip: learn to "hide" what you were doing before on things you post online. Here you are anonymous (I believe), and people will only make jokes about "masterpiece, best quality, ultra detailed hentai illustration, seductive bride" (I for one think it's pretty ok to have desires for one's own wedding night, and it even makes me want to make "handholding" jokes). But that's not always the case.

If you post it on the wrong place, for the wrong people, it may end up bad. There are cases, for example, of people who became big jokes because they recorded themselves on their bedroom but they forgot to hide their dildos (cases like, family photo, online job interview, and so on). There's a chance your case is not far from it.

If you have no problem with this kind of thing, or if you use this account for the purpose of such things already, no problem. But I'm just warning you that showing such intimate side is not always what people want to do.

No one really cares about this "hidden rule" to be honest. People are extremely open about themselves on platforms like X and even Discord, primarily because they, like you said, have zero problem with showing their true selves, especially on social media platforms. And if you go on "those websites" like Rule34.xxx, people on there are VERY open about what they're into (iykyk). But yeah, there's absolutely no point in reminding anyone this as they likely won't care.

Instead, what you SHOULD hide when posting online is personal information that can easily be used to identify you (credit card information, email, phone number), that's why YouTube channels blur them out to keep those people's identities completely anonymous. If you accidentally leak your personal info, it might be too late as scammers might have already stolen your identity and done irreparable damage to your credibility. Moral of the story, while it's okay to show specific things on the internet, but not ALL things. Sorry for yapping, but I felt like I HAD to give my personal input.
