How to prevent links from opening in the same container than the source?

Hi there, this is not my lang, so I will try to explain.

Example, I do a google search, google is in a 'G' container, I get a list of link results, clicking any link will open it in a new tab, in the same 'G' container. So google is able to track.

The only way is to right click and open in other/no container.

So my cuestion is how to switch it, how to make "open link in no container" the default' instead, and 'follow in the same container' only when right click?

It may be a weird question but I still have to ask.

Thx.

Chosen solution

This is the intended behavior according to bug 1325014. So currently, the only solution is to right-click and manually select the container.

There's currently a bugreport opened to track the implementation of an option to toggle this behavior on and off. It is tagged P5 meaning that if someone from the community wants to send a patch, they will gladly review it. So, I encourage you to vote for it and spread the word :). I'd myself be very happy to see that option implemented!

Also, there's a related issue on the Multi-Account Container Github repository that you can follow and vote for.
