# New Tab Identity

Browse the web from multiple VPN locations simultaneously. Goes well with [Librewolf](https://librewolf.net/).

> NOTE: There is a bug in Firefox versions 129, 130, and 131 that leaks DNS requests. [This is fixed in Firefox 132](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1910593). If you are using an older version, you should set `network.dns.native_https_query` to `false` to avoid DNS leaks.

> NOTE: If you are using a uBlock Origin version before v1.60.0 then you need to uncheck "Uncloak canonical names" in the settings to avoid DNS leaks. [This was fixed in v1.60.0](https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/commit/d5f14ffa32).

## Todo

- [x] Add button to delete containers that don't have associated tabs

- [x] Remove `overflow-y: scroll;` from popup

- [x] Cycle between country locations by default

- [ ] Add options button that opens dialog in react view OR include options at bottom?

- [ ] Add option to cycle between city locations

- [ ] Don't auto-delete containers if user renames them

- [ ] Don't auto-delete containers that aren't managed by the addon?

- [ ] Make it easier for users to rename containers?

- [ ] Warn user if current container is no longer in the list of servers (offline or removed) and therefore can't be proxied

- [ ] Write logic so it's possible to switch the proxy of an existing container with `browser.contextualIdentities.update()`

- [ ] Add option to customize new tab (`about:blank`, mullvad status, etc.)

- [ ] Add option to customize colors

- [ ] Add option to customize icons

- [ ] Add option to customize container name format

- [ ] Add option to customize context menu
