[Question] Temporary Container in MAC #406

Closed kamizoli closed 4 years ago

kamizoli commented 4 years ago

I have a question. Sometimes I am opening several bookmarks leading to the same website and would like the new tabs to open in the same container, so login stays the same. I then assign in MAC an exsisting temorary container, to always open the website in. It is not a use case where I would need a permanent conatiner in MAC. My question now is, does a so assigned container stays a temporary container. Will Temporary container delete the browsing data for that container when I close the last tab? Also does a temporary container which I rename in MAC stays a temporary container and the data will be deleted? I also use FPI so uMatrix or CAD can?t delete the cookies as I understand.

If Temporary Containers does not delete the browsing data in the above use case it would be a good addition to your addon. Or if one would have the option to delete even the container data of a permanent container, after the last tabs has closed.

Thank you for your great work!

If you want to keep a temporary container you'd have to convert it to a permanent one using the popup (can be activated in the general preferences), by opening "actions" and clicking "convert to permanent". Keeping temporary containers around and making them quasi-permanent is not in the scope of TC.

I also use FPI so uMatrix or CAD can?t delete the cookies as I understand.

I'm not sure, but I think I've read that both added support for FPI cookies. Not sure about storage and such though.

Hope that helps

Thank you for your great work!

Thanks!

Closing as this seems to be resolved.
