I am using i3 but what bugs me is that tabs now seem to be part of the browsers.
There's no elegant way of telling Firefox to never use tabs, always open a new window. There are some extensions pretending to this, but the experience is terrible. There actually is a new tab created which is then detached.
I don't usually use Chrome, so I looked up wether it handled this, but it seems to rely on extensions too.
Qutebrowser works, but it has other limitations, such as poor extension support.
- omertuchfeld 6y agoI've had the exact same experience you described. Realizing i3 is the way to go and apps shouldn't manage tabs themselves - trying to stop Firefox / Chrome from doing so - realizing it's not simple and the no tabs extension is problematic. Trying qutebrowser and giving up because it's limited. I've settled on NoTabs Firefox with a userChrome.css that hides the tab bar until Firefox someday supports native no tabs.
