From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

This one is supposed to fix the obnoxious explicit sync bugs, so fingers crossed

I hope tab groups gets worked on soon 🤞🏼

Can you explain what tab groups means. I feel like I have an idea what it is but I'm unsure.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

This is an example of a tab group using Sidebery. If you click links on a page that open in new tabs, it creates a sort of folder from the original tab, with the group of links as children of the parent tab. You can also drag them into these groups manually.

Ohh yeah, this is such a must have features. I hope they implement it so that it only appears when the tab is hovered/extended.

Dang, was hoping vertical tabs would be in it when I seen the nice round 130. I have been trying out Zen browser which seems to be a fancy Firefox skin that has virt tabs and they seem awesome.

Tree style tabs ftw

I've been using Sidebery. Decent little addon for a tab sidebar.

You must've gone out of your way to run an obscure OS if you can't run Firefox on it...

And in choosing a super obscure OS, you probably knew software compatibility would be an issue. In other words, kind of a problem of your own doing, and not related to Linux either.
