Why not Address bar and viewport. Dev tools are only useful to devs. Tabs should be handled by the window manager.

- yrro 10y agoRemoving tabs would be awful for an overwhelming majority of users who use platforms that are incapable of managing dozens of windows. And, as an (occasional) i3 user, I would not want this, because two browser windows seem to use up far more resources than one window with two tabs. Browsers are almost unusable once a certain number of tabs are open; I can only imagine how badly my computer would operate were the 100+ tabs I have open each consuming the resources required by a separate window.

- jasonkostempski 10y agoChanged my mind, I agree with the window manager thing and that dev tools should be separate. However, ubiquitous dev tools are really nice when, as a developer, you're trying to figure out why a page doesn't work for that one user that has 20 extensions and 5 viruses and you don't have to ask them to install anything extra.
