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.

Closest thing to that feature is this add-on:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/panorama-view/
Very laggy and overcomplicated, but found that too!
Yeah it's kinda laggy but does its job. I guess that was the reason why did they remove it from Firefox, it was slowing things down.
Afaik Epiphany has this.
Never used Epiphany as my main browser but it's nice to have it around as an another open-source browser project. Gotta check that feature.
I mean, why not use Geckoview? Mozilla is doing something really nice and has the only full fledged browser with actual Addon support. Meanwhile GNOME and KDE have half-baked projects that use engines only really maintained by Google and Apple.
Yeah, I don't understand that either. It can be used for something like Electron to run web-like programs but no one does that too.
Well, Thunderbird does that. Thats it. Seamonkey and how they were all called were before my time.
