Why do you weirdos want tabs on the sidebar anyway?

[-] SomethingBurger@jlai.lu 113 points 10 months ago

Monitors are horizontal, webpages are vertical. Horizontal tabs waste precious space.

[-] Ephera@lemmy.ml 85 points 10 months ago

It always bothers me about this whole vertical tab concept, that, on a theoretical level, I'm fully on board with what you're saying. But in practice, I'll often have Firefox tiled side-by-side with another window, and then it's painful for that sidebar to take up any space at all.

I am happy, though, that this feature is being integrated for the people that find it useful.

[-] Nonononoki@lemmy.world 21 points 10 months ago

Hear me out, responsive tabs. Wide browser window? Vertical tabs. Narrow browser window? Horizontal tabs.

[-] sysop@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

Yeah... technology just isn't there yet for mozilla. Good idea though, just not feasible. Best they can do are chatbots.

I have a keybind to close the tab side window. Works pretty nicely when i have firefox tiled beside some other window. I don't need to see the tabs all the time. But when i am looking at them; it's nice to have them stacked, on the side.

[-] EddoWagt@feddit.nl 2 points 10 months ago

The tabs could collapse to just an icon and expand when hovering over it, it still takes up some space, but not nearly as much

[-] Psythik@lemmy.world 20 points 10 months ago

But how are you going to read the title of the tab without making the sidebar too wide? That's like having a vertical taskbar in the days before Windows 7 came out.

[-] atocci@lemmy.world 18 points 10 months ago

You don't, you get the favicon and you are gonna like it

"Your tabs have titles?"

--Me, pertpetually having 100 open tabs

[-] noodlejetski@lemm.ee 3 points 10 months ago

...same way I'm able to read the title on a horizontal tab? it's even easier since the vertical ones don't shrink in size when they reach a certain number, like the horizontal ones do.

[-] Grass@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 months ago

some janky hack I used to use but couldn't recreate as of 2 computers ago had long titles over multiple lines

[-] flavonol@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Rotate the titles, I assume. Might be tricky to gef used to, though.

[-] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 7 points 10 months ago

Monitors are horizontal so we can have two windows opened side by side, making both squares.

[-] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

Reject modern aspect ratios, return to CRT

[-] ocassionallyaduck@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

You also read page titles horizontally, making it easy to skim tab page titles.

[-] apfelwoiSchoppen@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

Not if you need to see all those tabs you're hoarding.

[-] Cethin@lemmy.zip 5 points 10 months ago

Exactly. Monitors are horizontal. Tab names are horizontal. They should be listed vertically with the names written horizontally. You can hide them if you need to, but I find my monitor has plenty of space.

[-] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 0 points 10 months ago

That would work well with my dual 32" 4K monitors

I'm not so sure it would work well on a 15" laptop. It's easier to scroll vertically than horizontally

[-] Honytawk@lemmy.zip -2 points 10 months ago

... you can hide them and only show when you open a new tab ...

Not like you need your bookmarks at the same time while browsing other pages.

[-] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

You won't like the way I do my work. Tabs, everywhere. Multiple browsers.

I really need things to be as in my face as possible else I WILL forget about it until I'm looking through my assigned JIRAs like 3 months from now.
