Promising news. Hopefully Mozilla will start listening to people again.
about time! hoping for built-in vertical tabs some time soon as well 👀
This is something I've wanted on Firefox for a while. Glad to see it's finally happening!
Again?
Let's see how long it takes them this time to take it down again.
This will be good. When I switch to Firefox in 2019 Chrome had just added tab groups. No extension really replicated hope they felt.
I want workspaces, ideally in a sidebar like in opera. Arc also does workspaces well but Firefox doesn't have to go that far and have the tabs on the side too.
You could check out Sidebery (Firefox addon) (A note: I use it with Floorp, a fork of Firefox built around user control. Floorp link)
Ton of features and very nuanced customization (you can change pretty much all minutia of its UI, which is a huge plus over other stuff I used). Some noteworthy features I like:
Vertical tab bar with collapsible parent/child tabs
Tab Grouping, which seems to be functionally the same as workspaces
Unload or refresh tabs or groups en masse easily
Customizable new tab buttons. ie: you can have "new tab", "new private (or other container) tab", and "new lemmy.world tab" all at once.
Customizable movement of tabs to specific Tab Groups based on domain and/or container. ie: I have a "Media" tab group, and I set it up so any domain from youtube.com or dropout.tv automatically get moved from other tab groups over to "Media"
There's more, but those are the points that I find the most useful.
Please allow me to not use this. I switched to FF mobile because Chrome forced groups on their users and left no way to turn them off.
Just bring normal tabs back to mobile, please. Tablet Firefox is the worst.
Makes sense. Clearly a popular feature.
I have been using the Simple Tab Group extension for quite a while now - imho it has been pretty great. Not sure if this announcement adds anything for me
I just use several windows on several virtual desktops. It's much less cluttered.
Those hacks are needed because windows can't handle many things at once.
Tab stacking? Can I finally come back to Firefox?
