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.

This one is supposed to fix the obnoxious explicit sync bugs, so fingers crossed

I remember when Firefox was on 3.x for probably a decade

Dang, was hoping vertical tabs would be in it when I seen the nice round 130. I have been trying out Zen browser which seems to be a fancy Firefox skin that has virt tabs and they seem awesome.

I've been using Sidebery. Decent little addon for a tab sidebar.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

Sidebery has become one of my must haves for new installs.

Vertical tabs are in the 131 alpha

I use this as it is currently the best option available, but it really doesn't compare in terms of speed

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

So much potential there. If only the UI was more minimal, like Vivaldi or Qutebrowser, I'd switch immediately.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

It has it's own themestore and there are minimal themes to make it like vivaldi

The sidebar is present, but no tabs just yet. The only way I was able to activate the sidebar was changing the chatbot from settings, not sure how to toggle it without doing that.

I tried the flatpak for Zen, but it seem to crash quite a bit. How has your experience been?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

So far I haven't had any crashes, But I am using the app image instead flatpak. I'm going to try zen on a second machine tomorrow.

I hope tab groups gets worked on soon 🤞🏼

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Can you explain what tab groups means. I feel like I have an idea what it is but I'm unsure.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

This is an example of a tab group using Sidebery. If you click links on a page that open in new tabs, it creates a sort of folder from the original tab, with the group of links as children of the parent tab. You can also drag them into these groups manually.

Ohh yeah, this is such a must have features. I hope they implement it so that it only appears when the tab is hovered/extended.
