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.

Firefox Sidebar Addon like Brave or Vivaldi? (feddit.de)

There are tons of addons but they are all weird. I currently have lots of pinned tabs and would like to move those to a sidebar.

Only the favicon, custom side adding, like on Brave.

Is there such a thing in Firefox?

Edit: no I dont want all Tabs on the side! Just a few pinned ones like in Brave

You might be wanna check out Floorp web browser. A fork of Firefox which implements sidebars and other interesting elements. Plus it's super fast!

Ok will see if I can copy those elements to normal Firefox. No way I am using some strange 3rd Party firefox mod XD

Floorp is not bad but I think it delays in receiving updates. I get "no ad blockers allowed" warnings on YouTube.

It's based on ESR so it receives the security updates normally but features at a later stage.

And who still uses YouTube when there are alternatives like invidius and Piped??

I didn't know that. Thank you.

Floorp dev recently stated that workspaces are not going to be supported anymore/will be removed.

In my experience, Firefox and forks are never super fast. Installed Floorp Lightning and the speed is the same as Firefox.
