OK so basically my company started switching globalprotect vpn to use system default browser. only i have sideberry keep my work related url's in a work container.

what i can see happens, is on browser first launch, it opens the page in the default container.

it then tries to connect to my companies url's for okta sign on, however it auto switches to the work container, and in that switch, the cookie/session info is lost, and so the vpn is unable to connect.

i have tried to set up excludes for panels for file:// stuff, and other bits and bobs, but no joy, doesn't work.

only unblocker is for me to disable side berry when switching to vpn.

not ideal as it means i might just keep side berry disabled perma if i goto keep doing this.

The whole point of side berry is so it can conveniently switch my containers for me, but if it gets in the way i need to lose it :(

i basically need a way to tell it NEVER TO SWITCH away from default unless i move a container to a panel manually, and then always do that.

or alternatively, how about me having regex matches for default container?

if i could make my default container the work one, that might work?

If I correctly understood, you can try to use a default container as a "work" container and setup "Exclude URLs" in "personal" container with work URLs.
