Per Domain Isolation

Per Domain Isolation is basically the same as Global Isolation, but the configuration only applies per configured Domain Pattern, not for all tabs. It overwrites Navigating in Tabs and Mouse Clicks from Global Isolation if you set the configuration to something else than Use Global.

Domain Pattern

Domain Patterns match the active Tabs Domain. If you load the URL https://example.com/moo in a Tab, then the Domain is example.com.

Domain Patterns can have the following format:

  • Exact matches: e.g. example.com or www.example.com
  • Glob/Wildcard match: e.g. *.example.com (all example.com subdomains)
    Note: *.example.com would not match example.com so you might need two Per Domain configurations.

Advanced: If you configure a Domain Pattern in the format /pattern/flags it will be parsed as Regular Expression and match the Full URL instead of just the Domain.

A RegExp Pattern to e.g. match http://example.com/foo, https://example.com/foo and https://example.com/foo/bar would be: /^https?://example\.com/foo/

Always open in new Temporary Container

Enabled: Will reopen Tabs in a new Temporary Container if:

  • Navigating in a new Tab that isn't a Temporary Container to an URL matching the Domain Pattern
  • The active Tab URL doesn't match the Domain Pattern and then tries to navigate to an URL that matches the Domain Pattern

Allow to load in Permanent Containers: Lets you open URLs matching the Domain Pattern in Permanent Container Tabs. In this case Tabs will only be reopened when navigating in the Default Container or in Temporary Containers.

Navigating in Tabs should open new Temporary Containers

Always: Every Navigation in the active Tab will reopen in new Temporary Containers.

If the Navigation Target Domain does not exactly match the active Tabs Domain (Subdomains also get isolated): Will reopen Tabs in new Temporary Containers if the active Tab tries to navigate to a URL whose Domain does not exactly match the active Tabs Domain. Subdomains do not match exactly and hence get also isolated.

If the Navigation Target Domain does not match the active Tabs Domain (Subdomains won't get isolated): Will reopen Tabs in new Temporary Containers if the active Tab tries to navigate to a URL whose Domain does not match the active Tabs Domain. All Subdomains also match and hence won't get isolated.

Use Global: Will use the Global Isolation configuration for Navigating.

Note:

Mouse Clicks on Links should open new Temporary Containers

Middle Mouse, Ctrl/Cmd+Left Mouse, Left Mouse

Always: Every clicked Link in the active Tab will reopen in new Temporary Containers.

If the clicked Link Domain does not exactly match the active Tabs Domain (Subdomains also get isolated): Will reopen clicked Links in new Temporary Containers if the clicked Link is a URL whose Domain does not exactly match the active Tabs Domain. Subdomains do not match exactly and hence get also isolated.

If the clicked Link Domain does not match the active Tabs Domain (Subdomains won't get isolated): Will reopen clicked Links in new Temporary Containers if the clicked Link is a URL whose Domain does not match the active Tabs Domain. All Subdomains also match and hence won't get isolated.

Use Global: Will use the Global Isolation configuration for the respective Mouse Click.

Note:

  • Not all Mouse Clicks can get catched.
  • Navigating in tabs also covers mouse clicks (since it's a navigation), so you might not need to configure mouse clicks, unless you want a more relaxed or strict configuration for a specific mouse click

Exclude target domains

Domain Patterns added here will not get isolated if encountered in a Navigation or Mouse Click Isolation.
