You are right the user experience is chunky and not self explanatory. But what you are trying to achieve is possible. Play with the settings a bit. I have it in a way that if I type a domain that is assigned to a container, it will ask me first if I want to open it in its default container or a different one.

That's not what he (and I and many others) are asking for.

The site linked to is not assigned to any container. It opens in the old container, while it should open in the default container.

I'm just trying to help.

The idea of having a link clicked inside a container and expect it to go to a different container as a default setting, seems to contradict web standars. Now, if you've explicitly assigned the clicked domain to a different container, then yes, it should go to its container (which is how it works, to me at least).

I'm simply explaining something you hadn't understood.

But I'm not aware of any "web standard" codifying container behaviour.

There are (standarized) things that get sent to x.com when you click on a link to it on m.com. Stuff that wouldn't be there if you actually copy pasted the link.
Referer? Great.

What does that have to do with containers, or better, why do you believe what many users want is forbidden by "web standards"?

But if I click a Google link, it already goes to a different container (the Google one), because I've told it to.

I am trying to assign "all non-google.com links" to open in the default container.
