>>106714879They were so close to creating the best design and then they screwed it up so heavily
Oh no, not my heckin horizontal space! Not the dimension that I have too much of, the horror!

>>106714879only adhd zoomers use this shit
Why would you ever need so many tabs that you need to take up 25% of your screen to display them.Some people are just lost in the sauce.
>>106714961If you have too much horizontal space, you're not using your screen space effectively.
unused screen space is wasted screen space
>>106714879most chromium devices let you auto hide the bar until you hover over an icon.
I'm glad Icecat supports vertical tabs now
I've been using a widescreen display for like over a decade now.
>>106714879It gets even worse if you have a side dock.
>>106715207Shoulda put ur dock on the other side n00b
>>106714879No it doesn't, literally 0 if you are smart enough but you are not apparently.>>106715143kek
>>106715019>zoomersTerry A. Davis used it
>>106715854the patron saint of edgy zoomers
>>106715857Still not a zoomer.
>>106714879>icon-only vtabs
>>106714879Just use Tridactyl and hide your tabs.Easiest management, and you maintain 100% of your screen space.
>>106715207>side dockreddit.
>>106714879Use auto-hide
theyre fucking great
>>106718060What is so great about them?
>>106714879in nearly every case, i would rather have more vertical screen space than horizontal. doubly so considering how many websites nowadays insist on having a retardedly huge navbar.
>>106718918i can see the fucking tab title
>>106719211Did you know that if there is a very large list of links you want to get back to later, there's already a feature for that? It's called bookmarks. For tabs, you only ever have a few of them open at once as a means of multitasking, which means the title of each tab is visible.
>>106719269i dont fucking care
>>106714879no it doesn't
>>106719307That's still using up horizontal screen space
>>106719623i dont want horizontal screen space i want a 4:3 monitor you ape go fuck yourself
>>106714879i cannot go back to vertical tabs.the low information available is just too crippled.
>>106714879I miss tabsmixplus and multirow tabs
>>106720537>zoomer removes tabs and re-invents bookmarks
>>106721088not all of it is important enough to bookmark and my computers fast enough now this is nothing. my computers not doing anything else besides having firefox, video, text editor, node servers going.
>>106720652I left firefox when they fucked up multi-row tabs. The way I use browsers has changed since then, but that's when they lost me.
Can you still add a crazy amount of toolbars in modern browsers?
>>106721755That computer is probably running all that on 32 mb of ram.
>>106721822zoomer-kun... please say you're just trolling (or "rage baiting" as the kids say now)
>>106714879You know you can have it collapse the vertical tab bar until you hover your mouse over it.
>>106714879>vertical screen space is what's lacking>horizontal screen space eaten>frees up vertical screen spaceoh no, the horror
>>106714879Sites are made for phoneposters so it's not an issue.
>>106714962>pale memeI would love to use it if it wasn't slow as fuck on anything bigger than 4chan
>>106720537how do you make your tabs that slim? I need that
>>106724720mods to this!https://github.com/Dook97/firefox-qutebrowser-userchrome
>>106724749thanks anon
>>106724699>anything bigger than 4chanuse case?
>>106724759Who the fuck only browses 4chan throughout their day?
>>106724774Me
>>106714879most shit doesn't even need to fit the width of the page, it's a lot easier with vertical tabs
>>106724749working pretty good on IceCat now that it does vertical tabs natively, I just picked the relevant part to make the tabs slimmer and ignored the restnow to transfer the rest of my settings and finally get rid of Firefox for good
>>106724783Get a life
>>106724853nice. ive been meaning to switch to waterfox myself. ill try icecat too sometime.
>>106724866>ill try icecat too sometimeit's basically Firefox ESR but without the spyware. hopefully your distro has the latest version, it's up to date on the AUR but not sure about other distros
>>106724853oh does the firefox shortcut work to shrink the vertical tabs?itsCTRL+COMMAND+Z to toggle between the states
CTRL+COMMAND+Z
>>106724880I don't have a command key on my Linux machines but ctrl-alt-Z reduced the tabs to only show the favicon for me. I prefer keeping the titles visible desu, just wanted them to be less tall, not less wide (if I want them less wide I can just drag the tab panel border to reduce it)
>>106724891yeah thats what i meant. cool, i'd need that functionality to want to switch. one thing that sucks about firefox is how locked down their shortcuts seem to be, if you want to switch something to a personal preference. maybe on the forks it's easier.
>>106724901>yeah thats what i meant. cool, i'd need that functionality to want to switchif you're on macOS you're probably gonna have to compile IceCat yourself if you want to use it. I don't think they provide macOS binaries nowadays, only Linux
>>106720537Setup?
>>106725340what do you mean?>>106724749
>>106714879>eats your horizontal screen spaceThis hardly matters because most sites are designed around shitty, portrait mode interfaces.
>mouse off the firefox window>tabs get stuck expanded>tabs will randomly get stuck expanded and you have to drag a tab to get it to collapse properlyHOW HAS THIS SHIT BEEN BROKEN FOR MONTHS NOW

>>1067269794chan.org
>>106714879unless you have a small screen res, it doesn't matter. most sites have huge amounts of empty space to accommodate mobile viewing better.
>>1067269791. apple.com2. microsoft.com3. nintendo.com4. arstechnica.comlook at the fucking margins on these sites and tell me they're not designed with mobile interfaces in mind.
>>106715207Wow how did you do that? It's the worst of both worlds.
>>106728453works on my machine
>>106728491That’s Ubuntu default dock location.
>>106724749damn thanks for sharing thisi like qute but it always had a few compatibility quirks and issues that i always kept going back to firefox for
>>106728629see that bar at the top? also check the footer.
>at workneed to go back to old tabs frequently -> vertical tabs>at hometab junkyard to come back later maybe -> horizontal tabs
>>106728860that bar would be completely unusable on a mobile. Which is why it's not actually there on the mobile site.How is it "designed with mobile interfaces in mind"?
>>106714879icon tabs on autohide on topbar
>>106714970I forgot the name of the project for the life of me but there's this userChrome.css that makes the tabs really nice and small and I cannot use firefox without it now :)
>>106728629now scroll down you disingenuous faggot
>>106729063why don't (You) do that and then show the rest of the class what has got your jimmies so rustled?
THEY GIVE BACK ZERO VERTICAL SPACE FOR THE HORIZONTAL SPACE THEY TAKEYOU JUST GET A WHITE BAR INSTEAD OF TABSis this a fucking joke
>>106729337sounds like a skill issue, mine doesn't do that
i've never seen an optional feature provoke such seething>>106719269more clicks is more badder
>>106724749applying some of these tweaks to tab-group objects also helped a bunch for my mess of tabsthanks, anon
>>106729938>more clicksYou could keep the bookmarks pane open at all times if you wanted to. It's not even tied to your browser session unlike tabs, the bookmarks stay for as long as you want so you can return to them anytime (perfect for adhd zoomers)
>>106714879This is a blessing if you're a 4:3 chad and are forced to use a widescreen monitor.
>>106730538bookmarks themselves can't be loaded and left idle while you look at something else (this concept is known as a "tab") and there is no close button on each bookmark, nor does the ctrl+w shortcut destroy them (both a feature of tabs)
