Proxy for temporary container #20

Open whs opened 4 years ago

whs commented 4 years ago

Ability to set a proxy for temporary containers would be nice. Since those sites won't receive my profile anyway, they shouldn't be having my IP as well.

I'm glad that you brought it up because I had this idea for while, didn't have much time to work on it lately.

Main challange I see here is how to detect if the container is the temporary one. Do you have an idea?

How about checking for container name that starts with tmp?

bekh6ex commented 4 years ago

This might be a good start, but tmp is a default prefix which can be changed in the settings.

Would be nice to get more ideas on how else it can be done.

it looks like the temporary-containers extension just uses https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/API/contextualIdentities

https://github.com/stoically/temporary-containers/blob/main/src/background/container.ts#L137

if it is able to delete the history it will add -delete-history to the name https://github.com/stoically/temporary-containers/blob/main/src/background/container.ts#L125

I think an option would be to let the user set the proxy for the current container directly from the toolbar and to to set a default proxy for new containers.
