> whenever I click a link on Gmail that goes to Github, Github opens in the Google container and I always have to copy/paste the address to a new tab.

You can right-click links and open them in a "New Container Tab" (including "No Container").

Edit: You can also right-click on the tabs and select "Reopen in Container"

Sure, but it's not as convenient as doing it automatically.

If you specify a catch-all url to open in No Container, would that work?

  !*.google.com , Google
  !* , No Container

Oh wow, that did work, thanks! It's odd, because the extension reordered the catch-all URL to the top, so I'm not sure how the specificity goes.

I feel like that's probably by design. If you were in a session and clicking links, the assumption is if you're in the container already, you'd want to remain in the container. I don't disagree it would be nice for you to be able to specify domains per containers, but yeah, maybe that'll come in the future..

It's definitely by design, since the containers are meant to segregate accounts (e.g. a company container and a personal container), but a second mode would be useful since many people are using them for per-site isolation.
