Automatic Mode

stoically edited this page Feb 21, 2020 · 10 revisions

The Automatic Mode will overwrite your standard ways of opening new tabs - even when opened from an external program. Instead of opening tabs in No Container, it will open them in a freshly created Temporary Container. No more cookie, cache and storage collecting in one place, everything happens in its own isolated Temporary Container. If you enable Automatic Mode, you should also configure Mouse Clicks to open new Temporary Containers.

Automatically reopens Tabs in new Temporary Containers when

  • Opening a new Tab
  • A Tab tries to load a Link in the Default Container
  • An external Program opens a Link in the Browser

In combination with Multi-Account Containers

  • Reopens Confirm Page if in Default Container so you can choose between Temporary Container and Permanent Container

Note:

  • If you experience a huge delay when new tabs are reopened, maybe even losing typed characters in the address bar, you can change the Automatic Mode configuration in the Advanced section to Don't reopen [..] but instead on navigation.
  • If you have configured "New Tab" to "Blank Page" in Firefox, then instant reopening of tabs doesn't work due to missing Firefox APIs. In this case the reopening happens on the first navigation in the new tab.
