Global Isolation

stoically edited this page Jun 25, 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.

Navigating in Tabs should open new Temporary Containers

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

If the Navigation Target Domain does not exactly match the active Tabs Domain - Subdomains also get isolated: 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.

If the Navigation Target Domain does not match the active Tabs Domain - Subdomains won't get isolated: 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.

Never: No isolation applies.

Note:

Mouse Clicks on Links should open new Temporary Containers

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

Always: Every clicked Link in the active Tab will reopen in new Temporary Containers.

If the clicked Link Domain does not exactly match the active Tabs Domain - Subdomains also get isolated: Will reopen clicked Links in new Temporary Containers if the clicked Link is a URL whose Domain does not exactly match the active Tabs Domain. Subdomains do not match exactly and hence get also isolated.

If the clicked Link Domain does not match the active Tabs Domain - Subdomains won't get isolated: 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.

Never: No isolation applies.
