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.

A couple reasons:

  • I really like having my tabs on the side, it just plays well with my vimium workflow
    • This largely narrows it down to Firefox, Vivaldi, Edge, Arc
  • I like open source
    • Only Firefox remains

How do you put your tabs on the side? That sounds amazing.

It’s a bit more complex on Firefox than the others I mentioned

  1. There are a few possible extensions to add the sidebar tabs. This one is the one I use.
  2. You need to edit the userChrome.css to remove the og tab bar. The top response here is quite helpful.
  3. You want to enable the native title bar, as removing the original tab bar removes the window controls as well. The pictures in this guide are a bit outdated, but the instructions still work
