Take Sessions, Private Tabs/Windows to New Level
I'd like to be able to load a separate tab or window with many tabs with their own set of private data, like separate sessions, and easily switch between them with a drop-down menu in my toolbar. I'd also like to be able to create bookmarks that will automatically load a specific set of private data each time. Additional options might be to automatically quarantine or group sites or pages based on exclude/include rules. Tabs can be color-coded and/or labeled automatically or by the user to show which ones are in which session. This seems like it would be easy for skilled programmers like the Opera developers, and I hope this idea is given serious consideration.Examples of practical implementation:
Multiple simultaneous login sessions at the same domain:
Have 2 tabs open, each of them logged into 2 separate accounts at the same site. Their references to session data can be stored when bookmarking, to prevent the need to login again later like having only one session per window. One could also use only one tab for multiple login sessions by using the drop-down menu to select a different session for that tab, then reload the page.
Quarantine and group:
Have Facebook open in one tab, other site which you want to connect with Facebook, and other sites which you want Facebook to not know about. Facebook is notorious for making it easy to accidentally publish information about your browsing habits to your public profile. To prevent this, users may create grouping rules to put all pages at *facebook.com* in their own session, and nothing else. If the user wants to connect an external site, they can add another include rule for that domain like *hatchlings.com*. Particularly paranoid users may create global rules to automatically separate every unknown domain into its own session until otherwise specified.
