is ironfox a better alternative to librewolf? i too moved offa FF when they changed tos

[–] emb@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

Been loving the feature.

My next hope is that they'll upgrade tab groups so (when collapsed) I can move them around like normal tabs. Right now it's a little awkward if I start the group in the wrong spot.

Been using it for a couple of months now at work. It's good.

I also appreciate how intuitively it works. I wasn't aware of this feature when it first landed in developer edition, but after I accidentally created a group with drag and drop, the feature just clicked.

Ohhh that's what it is! I was did couple times since the last update; by mistake, didn't know what it was. Now I know.

Opera had it before they dropped presto back in like 2013.

To be fair, the current Vivaldi team consists of a lot of the ones that made Opera Presto.

Firefox laughing in 2004 with anything else...

[–] RedSnt@feddit.dk 4 points 2 days ago

I am on Vivaldi now but after manifest v3? I'm very happy to see tab ~~stacking~~ grouping come to Firefox based browsers as that's definitely the escape plan, possibly very soon.

You mean laughing in before COVID

[–] GnuLinuxDude@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 days ago

I've been using them for a few weeks now. Lifesaver as I try to organize stupid bullshit that life forces on me.

Considering I've been screeching this to myself, I wonder how they heard.

I also asked for compact mode. Where's that?

I'm saving all my tabs on a regular basis for 3 firefox pages. How does grouping tabs impact saving them? Does it create sub folders in the main saved tab folder?

[–] starman@programming.dev -5 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Why not just using fucking bookmarks? What's the point of all this "organization" when it's ephemeral anyway? I don't get it why most people are so allergic to bookmarks.

Great. Now do Guest mode. It's a must-have for places like libraries and internet cafes - if Firefox equalled Chrome in this regard it'd easily gain a percent on the market share scale.

[–] Prox@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Is Guest mode different from Private Browsing?

[–] unwarlikeExtortion@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 day ago (2 children)

In fact - no, it's just a reskin of incognito to make it not feel like you're not watching porn.

Which might make it feel like a non-issue and a useless thing to add, but flip that around - it's a low-cost, potentially very high-reward improvement. It really should've been implemented ages ago.

The only things that need to be changed is the new tab page and the toolbar - both design "improvements".
