Domain Pattern

Domain Patterns match the active Tabs Domain. If you load the URL https://example.com/moo in a Tab, then the Domain is example.com.

Domain Patterns can have the following format:

  • Exact matches: e.g. example.com or www.example.com
  • Glob/Wildcard match: e.g. *.example.com (all example.com subdomains)
    Note: *.example.com would not match example.com so you might need two Per Domain configurations.

Per Domain Isolation overwrites Global Isolation if you change a configuration to something else than Use Global.

Advanced: If you configure a Domain Pattern in the format /pattern/flags it will be parsed as Regular Expression and match the Full URL instead of just the Domain.

An example Domain Pattern to match http://example.com/foo and https://example.com/foo would be: /^https?://example.com/foo/

Always open in new Temporary Container

Enabled: Will reopen Tabs in a new Temporary Container if:

  • Navigating in a new Tab that isn't a Temporary Container to an URL matching the Domain Pattern
  • The active Tab URL doesn't match the Domain Pattern and then tries to navigate to an URL that matches the Domain Pattern

Allow to load in Permanent Containers: Lets you open URLs matching the Domain Pattern in Permanent Container Tabs. In this case Tabs will only be reopened when navigating in the Default Container or in Temporary Containers.

Navigating in Tabs should open new Temporary Containers

Always: Every Navigation in the active Tab will reopen in new Temporary Containers. Note: There are exceptions

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.

Use Global: Will use the Global Isolation configuration for Navigating.

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.

Use Global: Will use the Global Isolation configuration for the respective Mouse Click.

Note: Not all Mouse Clicks can get catched.
