(Whiteboard: [userContextId][domsecurity-backlog])

Currently the following actions all open links in the same container as I am in: - accel+click link - context menu click new tab - context menu search selection As someone who cares about privacy a lot, I often am doing the above actions and put into a container I wasn't expecting when the reverse doesn't bother me any more (having to elevate a link to a new container tab after noticing I am in no-container) Can we at least consider a pref that defaults these back to being no-container? Specifically the search itself seems the least important to be in a container (however maybe users of logged in search engines want their history etc with their accounts?) Baku and I discussed this in relation to search but there is a wider point here.
