Multi-Account-Containers should always open unallocated sites in a new container

[titchy]

Multi-Account-Containers are great and protect me from tracking to a degree. But opening all sites in the "no container" container exposes me to tracking when I click through to a new unallocated site.

A better approach would be to assume all sites are evil and open them in a new container by default.

Then when I see value in sharing data between sites I can add them to a pre-existing container or create a new one.

At least an option to work this way around would be very handy.

Though it would require a decent timed clean-up process as we would not want to lose cookies etc for a site that was only visited once a year but also would not want to have all these containers stored forever.

Thanks for submitting an idea to the Mozilla Connect community! Your idea is now open to votes (aka kudos) and comments.

Sounds a lot like Temp Containers in implicit Automatic Mode

Open in Temp Container – Get this Extension for 🦊 Firefox (en-US)

Maybe this info is useful.

That extension does look like a solution, but this should be the default behaviour so as to keep all web sites separate unless they have been allocated to a common container.

> this should be the default behaviour

I'd assume a lot of people would be unhappy with this change (since their workflows would be impacted) ... so i wouldn't count on anything happening in this regard any time soon. Still, i wish you good luck with pushing your idea.
