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.

Maybe add some decent vertical tabs too?

What's wrong about it? I really like it.

Vertical tabs are working great in FireDragon.

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.

Tab groups have always been there. They're called windows.

What's the difference to the tab group extension?

Anyone know if it will be integrated into Fennec as well? Or, like, soon?

Mh, I'll check out how it works but if I don't like it I can always stick with

(And obviously 👎 for the inclusion of useless AI bs, would be nice if you can turn that off?)

This is super neat, but I swapped to Floorp awhile back because I like the workspaces feature.

Super happy for folks who wanted this built-in tho.

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

Might switch back, use vivaldi for workspaces, I switched because it synced across devices but I never use that feature I just end up retyping everything if I need to open something.

I’ve never understood this. You guys know you can have multiple Firefox windows, right? What’s the point of tab groups when you can just group related tabs in a different window? Between multiple workspaces, multiple monitors, and multiple browser windows, I never feel the need to have more than 5-10 tabs open on any one of them at a time. More than that and I’m clearly doing something wrong and need to clean up anyway.

Different strokes for different folks. I replied to the guy who replied to you and raised a couple of ideas that I think may distinguish the options to answer your question.
