Exclude Gmail

Would be great to be able to exclude Gmail, the same way one can exclude Maps.

Shame and weird that this option doesn't exist. I also hope this addon isn't abandoned (why almost all the container addons are abandoned anyway?!)


Workaround if you're using google services as logged in on their own container and have "Firefox Multi-Account Containers" installed:

  1. Disable "Google Container"
  2. Make a new container tab that you're using google services as logged in
    • If you're reusing container, make sure you're not logged in on the Google yet.
  3. Go to https://accounts.google.com
  4. Click "Multi-Account Containers" icon and then add checkmark to "Always open in [container name]"
  5. Go to https://mail.google.com (and other possible services you're using while logged in) and do step 4 again.
  6. Re-enable "Google Container"

Maybe most consider themselves feature complete...

Feel free to add it, you can see here how it can be done.

This addon is to contain google and not to login to Google outside the container so that Google can easily identify you based on third party cookies etc

You make a great point and I totally understand and agree but...

Why are there other exceptions to other google services then?

Yeah, I saw the exclusion area in the options tab for this extension. I added "mail.google.com" since it would not accept the full address or "/" or anything but this. This creates a 400 error every time that I now try to access Gmail and it essentially breaks any mail.google domain access. I find it really weird that the exceptions option doesn't accept full urls and does not accept "/" or offer any way to exclude a wildcard domain of sorts (i.e. mail.google.com/whatever-after-this.
