What you are doing does not at all, besides not having to do anything with the topic at hand.

Bad news is that it is not clear at this point whether Mozilla is going to go forward with the implementation. A post on Reddit by one of the project members suggests that the build is a “rough proof-of-concept”. Some features tested in the build “did not survive”. It is unclear which did not, as they are not mentioned. Mozilla is, however, implementing those that survived the cut into Firefox. Again, the poster does not mention which those are. It is also not verified that the poster is actually a member of the project team, so take this with a grain of salt as well.

Isn’t Firefox open source? So isn’t it possible that anyone could see the changes being made even in the nightly versions? I’m not a programmer so forgive my ignorance.

i wish they’d include vertical tabs and oneline navbar in settings rather than making the users edit userchrome. userchrome is really fun but it’d be much more accessible if it was on settings.

userchrome is really fun

It is not fun for me when the most beautiful themes are meant to be used on Linux or Windows and the Window buttons are all messed up for macOS (or won’t even show up), you can’t literally be without those window buttons on macOS because you can’t maximize FF from the dock as any sane dock or taskbar.

Yeah, this was annoying for me in kde. I just make my own themes now so this isn’t much of an issue though

I’d like to understand and have the patience of learning about CSS theming :D

I use Edge on my work computer since I can log into it with enterprise SSO and store my passwords and bookmarks to my work account. Not ideal, but I don’t do anything personal on my work computer because I already have zero expectation of privacy on it anyway.

Vertical Tabs are an absolute game-changer, especially combined with tab groups. I can actually juggle hundreds of tabs in a single browser window without issue. It’s the only thing I can say that Edge got right.

I’ve been waiting for this development for a long time. I can’t wait to have this functionality on my personal computer, on a privacy-respecting FOSS browser no less. The extensions currently available for this are just not that great, it has to be a native feature.

Ff with sidebery is pretty amazing. Although, it’s annoying you need to add a CSS file to disable regular tabs.

Hundreds? Why? I never have more than like ten, and each time I open my browser I start with none

Not the person you replied to, but I can help with an example:

  1. I have the browser reopen the tabs I had open last time, but keeps unloaded until I click on them.
  2. The tabs are in a tree hierarchy, meaning I can collapse an entire group while keeping them all open.
  3. My work involves juggling up to 50 different accounts each for a hand full of websites, so containers allow me to quickly swap between accounts signed into the same page.

Fair points, though what advantage does keeping unloaded tabs serve over using bookmarks?

So like astroturfing?

Alright, now do bifurcating diagonal tabs.

Sinusoidal wave tabs are clearly the only way to tab.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Rules

  • Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.
  • No misinformation
  • No NSFW content
