It should be implemented on os-system level, so you can access the content, no matter with which app.
Yeah. I don't understand why modern browsers don't allow disabling tabs. I already have a window manager that's quite good at managing windows. I don't need another level for that with its own rules.

Will this open new tabs in a separate window? After a quick look over it, it'll just hide the tab bar when there's only one tab present.

#74If any Firefox devs or PMs are reading, PLEASE build even a simple tab grouper into the browser natively. Regardless how recommended a given extension is, all tab manager extensions require access to all web content which is too much. I’d rather use something built in but barebones rather than an addon
While you have their attention: Where are native vertical tabs? Or at least a settings checkbox to turn horizontal tabs off.
A checkbox in settings would be better, but you can turn off the original tabs with a user style file, just in case anyone reading is unaware.

This is legitimately the only thing I've been asking for from Firefox the last years, I don't really care about webgpu, usb device access would be nice as would fine grained user-controllable permissions for extensions - but all I really want every single day is a better way to group tabs. Hell - just being able to group them by colour like you can in Chrome would be a huge leap forward. I've tried all the well known extensions and I'm not a fan of any of them.

Are you talking about the thing Chrome does with it's tabs where you can put them together in sections and give them a colour and name?
Not OP either but yes - that is exactly what I want!

In settings/preferences you can make “open a new window” the default.

It doesn't work well enough. For example, CTRL-Click a link ignores it and opens a tab. Menu -> Settings also ignores it and opens a tab.

Thanks. Sounds great.
Sort Tabs has been added as a tabs action (Top right menu). Or as a command. Wrap Text is now a setting. Defaults to false. For further ideas you can use the github repo... thanks
Perfect. Tank you for a gret job. Do you take Monero donations?

> Why do so many people need a tab manager in say Firefox, but not in Word, Excel, Windows Explorer or Total Commander I guess you could call me a "tab hoarder", I commonly have 50+ tabs open for the various topics and contexts I'm browsing and switching between. I usually also always restore my previous session from the day before, so some of the tabs are 2 weeks old but I have yet to finish the thing they're relate…
I tried it once but i dont function like that. Every couple of minutes I just spam ctrl+w to reset my mind off and i start again and repeat.
That's fine, everyone works differently, both in our heads and with our workflows, and that's why we have different solutions, no silver bullets and yadda yadda :)
