Tab Groups like Chrome
(lemmy.world)
I heavily rely on these to keep myself organized. I've tried a few extensions on Firefox that didn't emulate the experience close enough. Does anyone know of any setting or extension that does tab groups in the tab bar like Chrome does?
I'm a little confused.
I organize my tabs with different windows... Isn't that enough?
Using browser windows as an index of different work spaces in your browser seems unwieldy to me. It reorders them dependent on how you last alt-tabbed between them and doesn't offer a meaningful title for a particular workspace except for whatever the HTML title of the current active page for that window has at that moment. Also, you can't really preserve them if you close down your browser
That makes sense. While it's never been a big problem for me to have windows reordered, I could imagine use cases where that would be a pain. For myself, it's pretty straightforward. I don't need titles, because my window manager always shows a thumbnail of the window contents. But while I may have 10 or 15 windows at a given time, I generally only have a few windows that stay up consistently. The others come and go as I need them.
Firefox does have "pinned tabs" which are a part of what you were saying, they preserve the tabs if you close the browser. I use this for the tabs I always have up, like streaming video, e-mail, and Lemmy.
I just use ctrl+shift+q or the menu option to exit the browser and find it remembers all my windows just fine, been doing it daily for years this way. I think this is default behaviour.
It makes more sense with multiple monitors
