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.

userChrome.css, vertical tabs, better integration with the host system than Vivaldi or Edge, and support for fling scrolling that's not insanely fast on touchpads.
+1 for the Tree Style Tabs extension. There's nothung quite like it on any other browser (thougb I heard vivaldi does something similar? I'll try that, but it's still chr*mium, so not for me)
Orion does it now too.
Isn't that proprietary?
EDIT: I forgot, vivaldi's UI is also proprietary IIRC
