I wish someone would create an Emacs buffer style browser where we could easily switch between tabs similar to how Emacs lets you switch buffers. I know you can do this in Emacs, but I just think for all the work people do to get tabs working nicely, maybe the way Emacs has done it actually works pretty well without overwhelming the screen with so much information all the time.
That tree on the left would be better in some kind fuzzy search screen that appears on a key-binding (e.g. like some setups in Emacs) and otherwise be hidden so the full screen can be used for the page. Either as a panel like it is now or a modal/window.
- mbrock 9y agoIt's not what you're looking for, but it might be interesting to note that there's a pretty capable window manager (hybrid tiling/floating) that runs in Emacs, written in Emacs Lisp, and indeed lets you jump between windows using your buffer switcher. https://github.com/ch11ng/exwm https://github.com/ch11ng/exwm In the tiling mode, Emacs buffers and X11 windows map 1:1. It's like having arbitrary X programs inside Emacs.

- yellowapple 9y agoThis is what Conkeror was meant to be. Unfortunately, Conkeror is reliant on XULRunner, which is deprecated if not outright EOL now (especially since XUL itself is deprecated / nearing EOL).
- otakucode 9y agoWhat page uses the full horizontal width of your browser?
- gwenzek 9y ago> some kind fuzzy search screen that appears on a key-binding Firefox kind of does that. If you type Gmail and you have a Gmail tab open you will see a "switch to tab" entry. It support fuzzy search so it's handy.
