It will let you open containers that trash cookies on close. You can also set certain URL's to always open in a tmp container which is useful for sites that only let you read x amount of article per month.
I use this and it works well. You can also add a prefix to your temporary containers. I prefixed mine with “Mr. Meseeks #<Container Number”, which made it pretty hilarious if you also use the “kill tab after time” setting: Mr. Meseeks tabs closing in the background, completing their purpose.
Incognito isn't as private as the name suggests. I was surprised one day to open a tab in Incognito and see the site I visited knew who I was. That's because I had logged in to a related site in a tab I'd forgotten about in another Incognito window.
My assumption up to then was that each newly opened Incognito tab or window was it's own private session, but this turned out to be wrong - they all share state, as if you had one separate but shared profile called Incognito. This was a little upsetting as I'd been using Incognito for years without realising the data sharing going on.
Temporary Containers does what I'd expected from Incognito. Each new temporary container has its own isolated cookies etc from all the others. So now I open a TC when I want to visit a site without identity or tracking, or to login temporarily with a different account, and don't use Incognito at all.
incognito shares state between tabs. temporary containers can have a fresh container for every tab, so your tabs are isolated. you can also use it in a way that by default every site you visit is using a temporary container, with certain urls set to use their corresponding long term containers -- if i go to github, it opens in a github container, if i click a link to some random dev's site, it opens in a temp container, etc.
to provide context, i still use incognito, but i consider incognito mostly about hiding things from myself -- i use it almost exclusively for porn, because i don't want my porn habits in my browser suggestions. temporary tabs still land in the recent urls and such.
I expressed myself poorly. In retrospect it sounds like the exact opposite of what I meant, in fact.
What I meant is if you open what you would otherwise open in an incognito window in a container instead, you can restart your browser without those tabs being closed and the respective state being lost.
i use this, it sounds like in a way inverted from the way you do -- i have containers for any site that i want to maintain persistence on, then default to a tmp container
I have been using https://www.ustart.org/ as my homepage ever since Google killed iGoogle to gather my feeds and other things like Twitter searches.
I love RSS.
But per the earlier reporting, Roku is not paying to have the app. The money is flowing in the opposite direction: they are taking a cut from both subscriptions and adds.
Basically you sum up why having 1 major, huge company that supplies a vast array of website coverage, is a bad idea, aka google adsense/doubleclick which powers so many ad networks.
Yes there is facebook/twitter and a few others but google is the one with the crazy huge coverage.
Also yes there are other formats but we live in a very digital age where it has potentially better returns for less cost when you use google adsense rather than traditional media. When you are a small company these cost differences are a huge deal.
Normally we'd switch to something like that so everyone can read it, but since The Information just unlocked this one for HN, we can stick with the original source this time.
I'm on Three in the UK and no visual voicemail, but subscribe instead fo HulloMail which does voicemail transcription and is a very low monthly/yearly cost.
Would still rather my network provided it though, but it's been 10 years now and Three still haven't updated their systems, so I doubt they ever will.
