Global Isolation

stoically edited this page Jul 8, 2019 · 19 revisions

Isolation lets you configure cases where navigating in tabs or mouse clicks on links should open new Temporary Containers instead of just navigating to the target domain, hence isolating the origin domain.

Navigation

Target Domain

Never

No isolation applies.

Different from Tab Domain & Subdomains

Will reopen Tabs in new Temporary Containers if the active Tab tries to navigate to a URL whose Domain does not match the active Tabs Domain. All Subdomains also match and hence won't get isolated.

Different from Tab Domain

Will reopen Tabs in new Temporary Containers if the active Tab tries to navigate to a URL whose Domain does not exactly match the active Tabs Domain. Subdomains do not match exactly and hence get also isolated.

Always

Every Navigation in the active Tab will reopen in new Temporary Containers.

Notes

Mouse Click

Middle Mouse, Ctrl/Cmd+Left Mouse and Left Mouse

Will reopen clicked Links in new Temporary Containers if the clicked Link is a URL whose Domain does not match the active Tabs Domain. All Subdomains also match and hence won't get isolated.
