Feature Request: Linked Domains
Google now forwards its privacy consent for youtube.com to consent.google.com... Ergo, for temporary containers to be able to handle youtube in a meaningful way, it must be possible to connect domains. This is true for other sites too, who use some authentication mechanism spanning multiple domains.
What I mean by this, is that I want a configuration option, that handles things differently than isolation:"different from tab domain and sub-domain", but instead goes with "connected domains". E.g. if I open youtube, and it forwards me to consent.google.com, navigation should not go to a new container, but remain in the same container.
E.g. I want to specify that "youtube.com" may forward to "google.com" (and consequently also return from "google.com") without entering a new container. But every other forwarding to any other domain should open a new container.
And this behaviour should of course happen in every temporary container. Because the whole point of using temporary containers is that google cannot track me. So I definitely do not want to create a permanent container for youtube where I play all youtube videos...
I have same problems how to solve the G shit.
You can't even block googleads.g.doubleclick.net anymore to get though. 😢
Doesn't this already work with the per domain settings? This is my config:
Domain Pattern:
consent.youtube.com
Exclude Target Domains:
*.youtube.com
consent.google.*
googleads.g.doubleclick.net
So a tab with consent.youtube.com can forward to other youtube subdomains, google and doubleclick targets without creating new temporary containers. Note that it excludes google.*, because it sometimes hits other TLDs (.de in my case) as well.
@Jakeler Thanks for the tip! this fixed the new Google Consent shit for me! It's been years that I have not configured Temporary Containers and I had forgotten how.
EDIT
Not so fast. it doesn't work.
I have Temporary Containers Automatic Mode on If I click on Maps in google search results, it takes me to an infinite loop of new containers for "Before you continue to Google Maps" .
I added *.google.com *.youtube.com to Domain Pattern & Exclude Target Domains.
Doesn't this already work with the per domain settings? This is my config:
Domain Pattern:
consent.youtube.com
Yes and no. I do NOT want per-domain isolation (or am I misinterpreting what that really is?). I want global isolation. Meaning that if I open a url to youtube from any site, I want a completely new tab isolated from all previous youtube tabs. But I want to allow navigation inside this youtube tab (and every other youtube tab) to consent.google.com, without any of the tabs knowing anything about each other...
@k44me "Global" and "per domain" are just categories in the settings, not different isolation modes. They work together, so you can configure the global (common) behavior and then override some settings for a specific domain. I think what you describe is exactly what I want as well and my config should work for you too, just try it out.
@AdKiller Yep, I haven't checked Maps so far... Now I added another Domain Pattern for consent.google.* with exclude for *.google.* in the hope that this finally handles all google services.
@Jakeler thanks for the suggestion but seems like currently it is impossible to use Google Maps and Automatic Mode enabled.
@AdKiller It works for me even with Automatic Mode, both from new tabs and google search results. Domain pattern consent.google.* needs also youtube and doubleclick exludes, because they always try to send the result to all domains... maybe that was not clear in my last comment.
If it still does not work you can check with Firefox dev tools - network monitor what domains are missing, they show up in red "blocked by Temporary Containers".
@Jakeler thanks for the tip about network monitor! I had *.youtube.com in Exclude Target Domains but not consent.youtube.com. adding that seems to fix the problem. what a pain in the ass!
@AdKiller sorry to bother, but can you write a list of what exact exclusions I have to write to get youtube to not loop endlessly? I tried to use the network manager to find out, but because of the loop that didn't really work.
