Restrict domains to containers ''manually''

Open iliadaili opened this issue 3 years ago • 7 comments

Couldn't we be able to restrict sites to certain containers ''manually''? By that I mean restricting sites by typing the domain, without the need to access them. This would be very useful for situations with sites that you want to restrict to a container that is limited to them, but that have a bunch of different domains (like something.example.com, somethingelse.example.com...). This happens a lot to me with some shopping sites, and it's incredibly annoying and tricky to restrict all of the different domains in the same container.

Came here to make the same point and ask this same question.

I have a 'Google' container and would like to be able to check the 'only listed sites' box in the container settings, so non-Google sites don't bleed in to my Google container.

During login, however, a redirection occurs to a Google-controlled site which is not in the container's list and which I guess is consequently unable to see enough cookies/whatnot, so the redirected page fails and the browser gets sent back to referer. A redirection loop ensues. On the plus side, I got the "you have visited 100 sites in a container" cheevo in no time flat ;)

That needs to stop happening though.

I don't see "just uncheck the 'only listed sites'" as a solution to the problem. If I have to do that, what's the point in the checkbox's existing?

I've also read in other tickets that there are google/FB/Amazon/etc container add-ons, but I don't see adding all those as a solution, and in any case these are only the domains which most urgently need containing. Several other websites exist, or so I'm told.

I've also seen that there's a container manager that allows wildcarding of container-domain assignments. I imagine I could do some real damage with that, especially on domains whose subdomains are controlled by different individuals (some ISPs for example). I don't think wildcarding is a good solution.

How about a training mode? I'd throw a 'record' switch and then when I stop recording I get a list of all the domains visited in this container since I started recording, which weren't already on the container's list, and the option to select the ones I want permanently added? Saves typing, but it's still a bit 'power user' because you need to be able to tell which domains are relevant.

Um, that's it. Good luck!

Came here for the same issue. It would be nice if there was some place where I could manually add, say '.google.com' and '.google.co.uk' to a Google container. At the moment, if I open maps.google.com (added to the google container), it opens up consent.google.com (also added to the google container). Clicking on Agree opens up a new tab for consent.google.co.uk (which is not in the google container and I can't add it to the container since it does not stay onscreen very long), which fails and gets sent back to consent.google.com in the google container. This then loops forever, unless I temporarily use the "just uncheck the 'only listed sites'" workaround.

Same here. I too would like a table listing alle sites and which container they a configured to open in. To have an overview. Currently have to open a site explicitly to see if I somewhen have configured it to open in a container. This Table/List could then allow for addition, removal or change of the assigned container.

Another +1 to having a wildcard feature to say Open *.example.com in [container]

This is almost certainly a duplicate (maybe a triplicate) of an earlier issue. @iliadaili please, can you seek a match and then move your comment? Thanks.

This is a relatively frequently requested feature. It would be really nice to be able to do this. For me, clicking zoom links in slack does a redirect starting in the wrong container so when the redirect finished I wouldn't be logged in to zoom anymore.
