Hello. I've customized my browser (Firefox) quite a lot.
Just interested to hear other people's options on it.
It's based around the idea of maximizing vertical screen space while keeping everything I use handy. (I have a widescreen monitor) most websites don't even use all the horizontal space where vertical space is really important.
Only tangentially relevant to the post but I'm interested to hear what other "techie" people think and how others customize there browser. Also the screenshots of the ExoBrowser is kind of interesting as it mirrors this fairly unusual horizontal oriented layout that I've seen many programmers using.

The browser holds up pretty well even with the 258 tabs I currently have open. (Although it does use 4GB of ram.) It'd be really nice if someone could code an addon to unload tabs from memory if they're not used for a while.
Anyhow, what are people's thoughts on this?

- Ellipsis753 13y agoIt's interesting but I've just got all ads turned off in the settings on Adblock Plus anyway.
- ytjohn 13y agoVertical tabs was one feature of firefox that kept me using it almost indefinitely. Firefox would do all sorts of goofy things like freeze up entirely while playing Netflix or Hulu. I got to this point where I would use Chrome for doing anything media related like that and Firefox for "everything else". I found myself enjoying Chrome more and more, but the lack of vertical tabs kept me in Firefox. Eventually though, I had enough of Firefox's shenanigans and now I just suffer through horizontal tabs. Now my usage pattern has changed and I'm constantly having to weed out tabs so I can figure out where I am. I still long for vertical tabs in Chrome.
- Wingman4l7 13y agoGoogle "Chrome vertical tabs" -- there are a number of extensions which may do what you want.

There's an add-on for that =P https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/unloadtab/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/unloadtab/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/suspend-tab/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/suspend-tab/
- Ellipsis753 13y agoThank you for this. The memory is down to 1GB now. I think I checked a while ago but none supported newer Firefox versions but now it works just great. :)
