Monitors are horizontal, webpages are vertical. Horizontal tabs waste precious space.

[-] Ephera@lemmy.ml 84 points 1 month ago

It always bothers me about this whole vertical tab concept, that, on a theoretical level, I'm fully on board with what you're saying. But in practice, I'll often have Firefox tiled side-by-side with another window, and then it's painful for that sidebar to take up any space at all.

I am happy, though, that this feature is being integrated for the people that find it useful.

Hear me out, responsive tabs. Wide browser window? Vertical tabs. Narrow browser window? Horizontal tabs.

[-] sysop@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Yeah... technology just isn't there yet for mozilla. Good idea though, just not feasible. Best they can do are chatbots.

I have a keybind to close the tab side window. Works pretty nicely when i have firefox tiled beside some other window. I don't need to see the tabs all the time. But when i am looking at them; it's nice to have them stacked, on the side.

there's already an extension that shows your tabs in the sidebar and you can easily enable and disable it with a button

[-] EddoWagt@feddit.nl 2 points 1 month ago

The tabs could collapse to just an icon and expand when hovering over it, it still takes up some space, but not nearly as much

[-] Psythik@lemmy.world 19 points 1 month ago

But how are you going to read the title of the tab without making the sidebar too wide? That's like having a vertical taskbar in the days before Windows 7 came out.

You don't, you get the favicon and you are gonna like it

"Your tabs have titles?"

--Me, pertpetually having 100 open tabs

[-] noodlejetski@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago

...same way I'm able to read the title on a horizontal tab? it's even easier since the vertical ones don't shrink in size when they reach a certain number, like the horizontal ones do.

[-] Grass@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago

some janky hack I used to use but couldn't recreate as of 2 computers ago had long titles over multiple lines

[-] flavonol@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Rotate the titles, I assume. Might be tricky to gef used to, though.

[-] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 month ago

Monitors are horizontal so we can have two windows opened side by side, making both squares.

[-] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

Reject modern aspect ratios, return to CRT

[-] ocassionallyaduck@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

You also read page titles horizontally, making it easy to skim tab page titles.

[-] Cethin@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 month ago

Exactly. Monitors are horizontal. Tab names are horizontal. They should be listed vertically with the names written horizontally. You can hide them if you need to, but I find my monitor has plenty of space.

[-] apfelwoiSchoppen@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Not if you need to see all those tabs you're hoarding.

[-] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 month ago

... you can hide them and only show when you open a new tab ...

Not like you need your bookmarks at the same time while browsing other pages.

[-] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

You won't like the way I do my work. Tabs, everywhere. Multiple browsers.

I really need things to be as in my face as possible else I WILL forget about it until I'm looking through my assigned JIRAs like 3 months from now.
