found this on your ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ Bear Blog. having fun with it. set it up like my zen browser (with the sidebar + pinned tabs) and testing it out for my productivity stack at work. I themed out the glide-hint css via userChrome.css to better match my aesthetics. keep up the great work, i will be keenly following along. 1. https://freeimage.host/i/KMQu3EQ 2. https://freeimage.host/i/KMQAJ9t

How many tabs do you have open on average? Do you ever have trouble finding tabs with just being able to see the favicon?
i typically have 5 tabs open, no more, no less. i always have them in the same order so that i can navigate via alt+1, alt+2, alt+3, etc.. one tab is always my personalised homescreen which has all the main links+software i use in a day. having them in the same order means i don't even need to look at the sidebar to navigate to them, it just helps to see what tab i am focused on sometimes. with glide you can also mak…
Sorry if the questions are a little much; as a tab hoarder I'm always curious when productive people make do with small numbers of tabs.

Huh. I always end up with a mini tab explosion every time I do anything intensive like skimming docs or shopping/product comparison. Does that ever happen to you? Or do you just close all the resulting tabs as soon as you're done? Sorry if the questions are a little much; as a tab hoarder I'm always curious when productive people make do with small numbers of tabs.
for comparative work i use split tabs and for document skimming i use reader mode + anytime i feel overwhelmed i will start saving things to pocket to skim or search through later.

#37While this isn't quite my cup of tea, it's nice to see Firefox being forked instead of Chromium. With this, there's now at least three significantly modified Firefox forks, alongside Zen and Floorp.

This looks awesome, great project! I'm wondering if the config is flexible enough to allow for setting up Helix/Kakoune style keybindings?
I don't think it'll be possible to implement multi-cursor support through the config though unfortunately.

#40Nice to see Firefox forks too this is a really interesting concept, As a use-vim-everywhere kind of user, I absolutely need to try this out.
