Would it be possible to create a container for every site I start at in a fresh tab.
E.g. I open a tab, go to example.com and that stores all cookies and cached images and so on from that point on in a container that get's opened every time I start at example.com. So you have one container for every start point.
- Sylos 10y agoPossible in principle? Sure. Possible with the current state of the implementation? Definitely no. It's currently not even possible to create your own containers, and instead there's 4 pre-defined ones. But the Tor Browser has something which comes kind of close to / goes beyond what you what you want. Basically, what they do, is that they have a separate container per domain. So, if you are on www.example.com, and the Facebook-Like-Button on that page sets its Tracking Cookie, then this Tracking Cookie is tied to both facebook.com and example.com. So, if you then browse to www.yetanotherexample.org, then the Facebook-Like-button on www.yetanotherexample.org won't be able to see that Tracking Cookie, because the Cookie is only in the example.com-container. I figure that this doesn't solve what you want solved, but it shows that it's definitely possible from a technical viewpoint, and then having a small script which instead creates a container in the way that you described, that should be trivial and easily doable from an extension.
