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.

As a librewolf babe, I'm keeping an eye on this: https://codeberg.org/librewolf/issues/issues/2458
Tab grouping is so useful and something I've always had to resort to extensions for. Good for Firefox for this, can't wait for it to make its way to a browser that doesn't sell users data.
Hey, you can use tab grouping in Librewolf if you set browser.tabs.groups.enabled
to true in about:config
Thank you for this!
By now you would've expected someone to have pointed out what code is actually collecting that data that's supposedly sold.
I'm glad they've added it to desktop, but based on my usage it's more important for me on mobile. Hopefully they bring it to Android soon.
A million times this. But now the backend is done, hopefully mobile isn't that far off.
Why people like 50 tabs at once. I can't understand.
Neither can we.
I used to feel the same way. But recently, I just don't have time to 'finish' each tab/section. When I was younger with more time, I could.
For example, the first section of my browser is several self hosted apps I'm currently implementing. So, I don't want to lose the relevant forum posts/documentation.
The second section is some articles I couldn't finish reading.
The third section is something I'm researching for my work.
Fourth are media tabs, some YouTube videos I haven't finished, a music tab, etc etc
So basically, if I had time to read the articles, one section closed. Or finished my implementation, etc.
The hard part this is this is every week. Always new projects, work or personal. Always new studies to read. Always new vids. You get the point.
Heres a neat easter egg: If you open enough tabs on firefox mobile the number in the tab icon changes to an infinity icon
Agile and task reprioritization at work.
Too many projects to work on at home.
Games.
At work I’ll have like 20+ tabs open and I eventually am like F it, close everything and start over. Usually feels good.
live to help you declutter
Me ready to clutter even more 😈
Right??! So instead of clutter of tabs it will be clutter of tab groups… of tabs, lol.
whoa. mozilla doing something the people want?? WHAT PARALLEL WORLD IS THIS?
Don't worry they say they'll shove AI in it so it's definitely our world
I'll never understand you people that need like 50 tabs open at once.
I have a few use cases:
Basically, I use my browser as a notebook. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.
Yeah those all seem like great uses of bookmarks and save functions.
Bookmarks are only for the stuff I will always need again. Tabs just for the stuff I haven't finished yet and don't want to forget about.
Buddy have I got some news for you. You can actually delete bookmarks when you're done with them.
Can someone at least help me understand what tabs have that bookmarks don’t?
If i have more then 4 tabs open i get anxious because i can’t intuitively remember what each does. I have folders for categories of bookmarks.
It's a combination of things... I'm a software developer, so I'll often end up with 20+ tabs open while resolving a problem.
My tab hoarding has only gotten this bad because search engines are terrible now and the amount of AI garbage to sort through makes finding anything useful a pain in the ass the first time; let alone trying to find it a second time.
Relying on browser history is like finding a needle in a haystack.
Oh sweet Satan, yes. I wish somebody could explain to me why browser history is so awful.
if i bookmark something i will never look at it again
I only find my saved bookmarks randomly by typing something in the address bar and the bookmark popping up as the first result.
I keep tabs open for active projects. Once the project is over, I bookmark them for future reference.
Amg I couldn't figure out how to collapse. I'm so happy rn. I've been containerising everything. It's so soothing.
Ever since i switched to zen browser i hace not thought of coming back for a second.
Yea Zen is amazing, especially the neat Workspaces feature.
I'm still going back to Firefox because of tab groups.
So after I save and close a group... where do I find it?
It's in the tab overview menu https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/tab-overview-menu
The lack of groups was the deal breaker for me, so after it rolled out to beta, I finally switched back to Firefox as my primary browser.
Last I tried, I don't think you could reorder or drag/drop groups and selecting multiple tabs doesn't result in "group tabs" in the context menu, but it is still decent enough.
