Predefined Mouse Clicks per Website configurations

[stoically]

To enhance privacy even more for people that just install the Add-on and don't care to configure it further, it might be an interesting idea to include a predefined configuration of Mouse Clicks for certain domains that use outgoing trackers.

E.g.

• www.google.com

  • Middle Mouse: Always
  • Ctrl/Cmd+Left Mouse: Always
  • Left Mouse: Always (google uses www.google.com to track)

• www.reddit.com

  • Middle Mouse: Always
  • Ctrl/Cmd+Left Mouse: Always
  • Left Mouse: Only if the clicked Link is not the exact same Domain as the Website (reddit uses out.reddit.com to track)

@shvchk had a similar idea in combination with Containerise, which I find pretty cool.

@ArchangeGabriel also put some work into thinking about different workflows with containers and might be interested too.

To really only affect tracking links it might be necessary to be able to define a pattern for the target-link on top of the origin-domain. E.g. www.google.com/url?*

Another related project is link cleaner which I currently use and which would be a natural fit for this too. Maybe sharing lists?

I also thought about setting the default for Global Left Mouse to "Only if the clicked Link is not the exact same Domain as the Website" - but I'm not sure if that wouldn't disrupt the not-so-advanced-user experience too heavily (I'm personally using that configuration).

Dropping plans to implement this. Catching Mouse Clicks is too flaky. Added a note in the preferences lately that reads as follows:

Not all Mouse Clicks can get catched since on some websites you don't actually click links, but instead other HTML elements and the website executes arbitrary JavaScript which might open another website or a new tab without opening it in a new Temporary Container.

If you want to make 100% sure that all tabs or websites are opened in a new Temporary Container you'd need the Container Isolation feature - which is not yet implemented, you can follow progress here.

Container Isolation should be much more reliable. #56
