Linux

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.

Thousands of users wanted it, so Firefox delivered it. Tab Groups are now live to help you declutter and stay organized while browsing.

Yea Zen is amazing, especially the neat Workspaces feature.

I'm still going back to Firefox because of tab groups.

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!

[–] [email protected] 16 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

By now you would've expected someone to have pointed out what code is actually collecting that data that's supposedly sold.

A second browser window is the real solution. Or simply accept the chaos.

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.

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.

if i bookmark something i will never look at it again

[–] [email protected] 7 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

I only find my saved bookmarks randomly by typing something in the address bar and the bookmark popping up as the first result.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Isn't that the best way, though? I'm searching for something, but now I don't need to do a web search because I've saved the link to it already. And I didn't have to dig through a long list to find it.

Oh yeah, when it comes to bookmarks I gave up trying to organize them into folders a long time ago, and I now try to add a few keywords/tags to the description to hopefully get the bookmark when I type in the address bar now.

I’m the same way, I think it’s just a younger generation thing where they never close tabs and can have 100+ open at once

[–] [email protected] 7 points 18 hours ago

I keep tabs open for active projects. Once the project is over, I bookmark them for future reference.
