Modern browsers are just tiling window manager and other shit that has nothing to do with displaying HTML.
>>106928191>firefox: *adds cool useful feature*>bitter wretch: THAT'S IMPURE!
couldn't you just grab one tab and drag it to the left and then the other to the right? it even makes them fit half the screen
>>106928226You can do splitscreen in fullscreen mode and you don't have two seperate windows.>nothing to do with displaying HTMLeven though that's what firefox primarily does
>>106928191holy fuck ive been looking for this feature fucking forever. fucking FINALLY.
>>106928191>nigger whines about split tabs in Firefox (feature that existed in Opera 15 years ago)>completely ignores the fact that Chromium-based browsers implement such APIs as WebUSB, WebHID, WebGPU
WebAssembly is shit, it's going to make websites glow more
>>106928224I'm happy they implement it; I just feel sad that we went through the path of things that should be implemented in the OS being implemented in the browser instead. I wish there was a browser project with a different design philosophy that allowed more customization as far as the interface goes, and it's mostly the interface and other shenanigans that make people use one browser or another.Maybe Ladybird pursues this other philosophy, but most likely surely not.
I don't get it. Why? Which environment, where is able to firefox run, does not have the ability to put two instances side by side? Even iOS does more than one instance side by side since fucking 2014 or something
>every media player is either winamp clone custom bitmap blob animated videogame gui or a foobar2000 clone spreadsheet gui>every non-google web browser tries to take over the os window management>every graphics and 3d editor implements a full custom toolkit and custom tiling window manager with snap panels and even it's own file manager>every 'office' software is another cookie cutter clone of msoffice 97 or 2007
>>106928941what the fuck are you trying to say?
>>106928796firefox still lets you modify how it looks a lot. I don't like how they made it harder or taken away some things. However its still the best. I guess the easiest browser to modify is vivaldi but thats chrome garbage.
I swear Vivaldi had this shit for a while
>>106928191>until now, comparing two tabs in Firefox required third party extensions or manual workaroundsJUST OPEN A NEW WINDOW YOU DUMBASS
>>106928191>>106928427firefox has tiled/split/stacked/whatever tabs since version 3 or so, thats almost 20 or so years ago iirc.still works fine, and there is profiles/layouts you can change/apply on the fly
>>106929083Not the same. If you close one window and and the other you'll lose tabs of the first one. redundant bookmark icons bar and url bar shit clutter, min max close etc >>106929096way to much clutter also isn't really inside of one window.
>>106929126>If you close one window and and the other you'll lose tabs of the first one.If keeping track of open windows is too much of a bother for you, stick with an ipad
>>106929159you ever think sometimes things happen where the window crashes or you accidentally leave it or you want to restart your system and forget to close it out correctly. im going to stomp your head in.
>>106929126>muh clutterIf you cared about clutter, you wouldn't have this problem to begin with. Enable vertical tabs, and keep everything out of the way in the sidebar so only the title bar remains.>>106929168Not a problem for me, but then I don't have ADHD.
>>106929204vertical tabs? lmao they are shit. I'm glad firefox is actually adding something useful.
>>106928191Modern browsers are entire operating systems, they're just written for an interpreted platform.
>>106929126>If you close one window and and the other you'll lose tabs of the first oneThere's literally a menu that lets you reopen last 5 (?) closed windows, the fuck are you on about.
>>106929218>I don't like clutter with multiple windows>I refuse to use the one thing that will reduce clutter to zero???
>>106929273tf are you talking about
>>106929314>menu>history>recently closed windowsI was joking about the ipad, I didn't realise you were actually this dim.
>>106928191The modern operating system exists solely to provide a graphics accelerated window for a web browser to draw in.You know it's true.ChromeOS was right all along.
>>106928191this would be convenient, they should consider continuing to add more features that are actually useful while google chrome continues to destroy itself adding more built in ad tracking
test
i always browse with two windows tiled side by side. i can mange two sets of tabs this way. i don't think that i'd switch to having it per tab like this.
>>106929126???
>>106928991>what the fuck are you trying to say?Split "tab" view is BS absolutely nobody needs.Hell, even "tabs" itself would not have made it if people had used unix like machines in 2005... because they had tab management as a window manager feature on basically everything back then. The browser simple has no business in this.
>>106930561>Split "tab" view is BS absolutely nobody needs.I didn't know how much I needed it until now. And no, its not as efficient nor as cozy tiling two instances together. That's always annoying.
Edge had this for a very long time. Firefox could have it way earlier too but they rather put more AI slop and google shit into the browser than fixing things
>>106928191actually this is kinda cool? itd be great for watching video and having a chat up.its too bad i can't "buddy" together two separate windows in a de so they're always joined at the hip without going full tiling since i can't do full tiling as an animator (i tried; doesn't work).
2023 called lmao>The Split Screen feature has landed in the stable version of Microsoft Edgehttps://winaero.com/the-split-screen-feature-has-landed-in-the-stable-version-of-microsoft-edge/
Zen already does this pretty well. The four way split+pip in compact mode is great for live streams.
>>106928191I had this feature on firefox pre 57 just using an extensions, and others browsers like vivaldi has it since long ago too.
>>106928405Arc has had it for a while but (rightfully) nobody uses it because it requires you to make an account before using it
>>106928191maybe useful for phones where there is no windowing
>>106929363Oh man you nigger fuck head. Let me spend the next 10hrs explaining why this doesn't work. Everyone saying xyz is there doesn't get how shit and annoying each of these options are. I've tried them and there is always some retarddd issue with the tiling. I will use this new feature a fuckload . KILL YOURSELF!
>>106928191You actually have to render HTML to display the websites that it's showing. Idiot
>>106928191>Compare tabs side by sideuseless if it doesn't have synced scrolling THOUGH, which I doubt is possible without yet another extension.
>>106928191Wow, I can't believe Firefox will add at some point in the future something that you could easily do several years ago before they removed XUL support for literally no fucking reason. Incredibly based.Pretty much like when Microsoft adds to Windows 11 "new" features that were already in Window 7 or even XP and got removed at some point. I love how "modern development" is adding back removed features, just more limited than they used to be and using 10x more ram, God bless Indian developers.
>>106933130>I love how "modern development" is adding back removed featuresI'm still mad that the "Windows App" is just a shitty RDP client.
>>106928191You should've been bitching when Firefox added "AI" (if/else statements) to their HTML viewer.
>>106928226Stop making sense! Firefox has to justify itself for Google's monopoly somehow! Now enjoy the shitty "AI," Foxie.
>>106928224>Firefox: *takes away useful feature when moving away from XUL extensions*>takes 8 years to bring it back to the browser proper
