Comment:

 Making it a button instead of text is a problem. Buttons are used to
 indicate potential actions, not current statuses. Yes, there's an action
 associated with it, but the button breaks the UI convention we're trying
 to make consistent within WP of only using buttons for actual submit
 actions, not just for links or displays. Secondly, the contrast of that
 button is so low that it won't pass accessibility guidelines (same for
 visit site, we need to fix that too, but that's a separate issue).

 Better implementation would be something like:

 SiteName - Private [view site button]
 or
 SiteName (Privacy On) [view site button]
