Features & Capabilities

Similar to Temporary Containers, but with limited functionality only handling the extremely limited usecase of creating a random+temporary container when a link is clicked upon.

The difference between the addons is the attempt of this addon to handle cases where the URL is changed before the click. This is done by adding a "mousedown" handler immediately when the link element is created. It theoretically should be called before any other handler.

This is experimental, so Temporary Containers might actually be what you're looking for if you're into nice UIs :)

User Reviews

Very nice! Not yet fully functional, though: it does not work on some sites like Google search, so search result ends up in the same container as Google search (that is probably because Google changes link with JS). Hope it gets fixed. Thank you for working on this extension!

Is Click To Contain Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Click To Contain requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Click To Contain may not be trust-worthy. Avoid installing if possible unless you really trust this publisher.
