Edge's implementation of vertical tabs is probably the best I've seen yet. You can get something similar in Firefox with extensions and userchrome edits, but custom userchrome can't be relied on since they're removing it at some point, and vertical tab extensions without the userchrome edits are very awkward (redundant tab bar, stupid sidebar header that can't be hidden).
I really wish some FOSS browser would clone Edge's setup. Preferably something built with Gecko or WebKit to help oppose Chromium hegemony.
- GhettoComputers 5y agoI was arguing that WebKit was not a Monopoly but he grouped WebKit and Blink together, interesting you see them separately. You can just download a config for firefox, pretty sure Chrome still can't do rows of tabs.
- kitsunesoba 5y agoWebKit and Blink have diverged quite substantially at this point and have several large differences. One is that WebKit is more geared toward embedding in applications using whatever UI framework and language whereas Blink is more married to Chromium. Firefox configs like you mention are possible only because of custom userchrome, which Mozilla has indicated intent to remove sooner than later.
- GhettoComputers 5y agoSuprised that WebKit is better, wonder why Blink is being used in VScode.
- TingPing 5y agoIts not better, its different. Anyway vscode just uses electron, and electron wants the modern Google web.
- blondin 5y agoi literally use edge daily because of the vertical tabs. i don't know where i can submit feedback or if the edge team will ever read them. but when the vertical tabs are minimized the auto-expand on hovering is very distracting and almost never needed.
