- reportgunner 3y agoYou can have more than one browser window though.
- wahnfrieden 3y agoThat’s what I said.
- drewg123 3y agoI guess I'm just biased because I like to run an OS on my desktop (freebsd) that doesn't support Electron. I've carried that over to my macbook... I've just gotten into the habit of "gmail is leftmost, slack is next, etc", and never have a problem finding slack..
- paxys 3y agoSo you're using your browser tabs as an app manager. Most people prefer to use the actual OS app manager.
- jauntywundrkind 3y agoIt had all sorts of limitations & I get why it didn't last & it was overloading even for me, but... Damn I miss those glorious months or years when Chrome tabs were just app instances. It's insane to me that the browser & OS both have their own totally parallel/separate ways of managing multiple windows. That the two don't work together at all. The os has seemingly made such faint progress in helping complex apps manage multidocument setups.
