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.

Why does everyone like vertical tabs? Today my tab icons are so small because I have so many. Monitors are wider than they are taller. What am I missing?

Monitors are wider than they are taller.

Personally, exactly for this reason.

If you want vertical tabs with the ability to organize them in trees I suggest the Sideberry extension. It legitimately makes me nervous that the functionality would ever go away, it improves my productivity so much.

You can bookmark trees, collapse them, search them, load/unload them manually, I could go on. It makes it easy to organize dozens or hundreds of tabs. I have some trees for emails, news, forums, projects, etc. When I'm done just fold it up: the top tab bar can hide tabs that aren't in the active tree you're using, so you can still navigate the tabs normally.

Sideberry is pathetically ugly. They couldn't even be arsed to use the same font as the rest of the UX. The hierarchy is poorly shown too.

The masterclass in side tabs and tab grouping is with Vivaldi, and, sad to say it but Safari too.

When you combine Vivaldi with the TabRetitle extension, it is unbeatable.

I'm using vertical tabs since 4 years ago and to do so installed Tree Style Tab (https://tinyurl.com/y5gr4dyn)

Also has to disable horizontal tabs create or update the file chrome/userChrome.css located at your profile with

#TabsToolbar {
  visibility: collapse;
}

and add the setting toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets with value true (use about:config)

This feels like something that should be a extension

Wake me up when we have Chrome-style tab groups in FF.

You mean this or this? It's been around for a couple years and has more functionality than Chrome's.

[–] yo_scottie_oh@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

No, I mean Chrome-style tab groups. Existing FF add-ons are okay, but nowhere near as nice as in Chrome.

I'm not sure if it's the same, but floorp has Workspaces which I find very useful
