I'm a heavy user of Firefox & Tree Style Tabs. Recently, I tried Zen Browser. There's a lot there to like, but I think I'm sticking with FF.

That said... there is one thing from Zen I'd love to bring back to FF: That awesome collapsible sidebar for tabs. It's great: The sidebar is totally usable in its narrow, collapsed state (which only shows a vertical stack of favicons). But if I want to expand it, I just click a button and I can see the favicons + website names.

I've tried to achieve the same thing in FF & TST with the CSS below, but it's not the same: This CSS creates a minimized sidebar that expands whenever I hover over it. That's not as useful as the behavior in Zen. In fact, it gets pretty annoying.

Does anyone know how to get Zen-style vertical tabs? Thank you!!

The CSS I'm currently using in FF:

I use an Android e-reader (the Likebook P6) and I'm so frustrated by the lack of a good read-it-later app. This chart lays out the shortcomings of current apps.

Pocket used to be good but they dropped support for page turning.

Does anyone have a good app for saving and reading articles on e-ink screens?

There's an Omnivore beta app that supports page turning (great!!) but... for some reason, I can't adjust the fonts on my tablet. (I have this issue with the official Ominvore app, too.) And the Omnivore app doesn't auto-download articles?!?! I have to be online to load each article when I open it, and only then can I go offline. Pocket and Wallabag don't work this way; they'll download all your articles at once and you can read them all later, even if offline.

Are there any other options???

New York has a great gallery scene, and every Thursday you can attend gallery openings. But finding out which galleries are hosting events can be a little archaic: The only sites that list openings are really old, and they don't offer any way to subscribe (say, via RSS).

You know what would be great? A Google Calendar that's updated with all the best art gallery openings. For starters, it could source from these sites:

• ArtNet
• NewYorkArtWorld
• ArtCards.CC

Can someone make this *please *so I can subscribe to it?

There's a great newsletter called nonsense nyc that lists great, off beat events for the coming week.

But it's only available as a newsletter, which is kinda annoying. I'd love to have it as a Google Calendar.

I could manually take the events from nonsense and add each one to my calendar, but that's a chore. Does anyone know a good way to automate it?

I've just started using Brave on Linux (distro info at bottom) and I have a question about keyboard shortcuts & how the browser manages active windows, because it seems to be doing something different from my last browser.

I usually use Firefox, and I've set it up so that I can open a new tab with the Mail key on my keyboard. Pressing my Mail key executes this command, opening a new tab.

xdotool getactivewindow key ctrl+t

But now I've switched to Brave browser, and that command no longer works. When I've got Brave open and I press my Mail key, nothing happens.

I've tried alternate commands:

xdotool key ctrl+t

and

xdotool getwindowfocus key ctrl+t

but no result. Does anyone know how to fix? What is Brave doing with its browser tabs/windows?

Thank you!

For years, I've used a CSS trick to move my window controls (Minimize, Fullscreen, Close) from the Menu Bar into the lower toolbar, right beside my Overflow menu. (I'm on Windows 10, so these are the controls you see in the upper right window)

But suddenly, that doesn't work. My window controls are back up in the Menu Bar. That's unfortunate, because I usually hide my Menu Bar.

Can anyone review my code and tell me what needs to change? Thank you!
