really enjoying recent / ongoing nice little enhancements in my :firefoxnightly: 💜️

#AltText
snippet of firefox nightly context menu after right-clicking on a tab in the native vertical tabbar, yellow-highlighting some nice recent enhancements, including ability to split tab views, add notes to tab, reopen tab in alternative containers [this one not new, but no chromium browser has it, so still noteworthy], & the main one focused being at last [given vivaldi has had this for many years] the ability to move the focused tab to any of the user's other Profiles

#TIL that now in :firefoxnightly: & thus i intuit also ff-beta...

bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.…

the bugger-factor though is that this is a native FF function, thus atm anyway is not available in AOs #Sidebery & #TreeStyleTab -- thus if using either, one needs to also still have access to the native tabs. In :firefoxnightly: i do that via a script that moves the native horizontal tab strip to the bottom, then autohides it. Meanwhile [depending on which Profile i'm using] for general browsing i use TST or S on the LHS.

i do exasperate myself sometimes with my changing sensibilities wrt my preferred  #font. i keep toggling twixt #RobotoCondensed, and #NimbusSansNarrow . For the past several weeks i'd set it to the latter, but after a few [or several?] days of dissatisfaction with it, i've now toggled back to the former... yet again. based on history it seems inevitable that in another coupla months i'll likely jump back again.

otoh in #Plasma itself, i do seem reasonably settled with #NotoSansExtraCondensed -- this seems generally to survive much longer before i feel the urge to change it, compared to in my browser.

damn dopey dropbear! 🙄🤦‍♀️

"wasted" / spent 60' - 90' this morning investigating the latest #Floorp  update, v12.12.0, to ascertain if it might warrant me wandering back to it again as my default #browser, instead of my long-term stalwart  #FirefoxNightly

eventually decided it's not yet worth it

Pro

• via the optional #Flasco experiment, FF's current #SplitTabs limits of only two tabs & only vertically split, is improved to four tabs with also horizontal & grid splits
• Nightly's new #TabNotes function now also works in FF 149, ie, also Floorp
• Zen mode option

Con

• Floorp's tab-splitting operation tends to wreak havoc on #Sidebery's tab management
• Zen mode is a novelty-only for me, rather than actually helpful
• Nightly's fab new native emoji selector popup Ctrl + . function is not yet available in 149, ergo Floorp
• [this is a joke remark] Floorp's experimental mode name of "Flasco" is really unfortunate, coz it constantly seems to me like "Fiasco" when written then carelessly read

https://blog.floorp.app/en/release/12.12.0/

• The Zen Mode has been added. This provides users with a simple and calm environment to help them focus on their work.
  • The Zen Mode is designed to help users focus on web content by minimizing the browser interface and eliminating notifications and other distractions. By enabling The Zen Mode, users can enjoy a more comfortable browsing experience. This feature can be toggled on and off by clicking the toolbar icon, using mouse gestures, or keyboard shortcuts.

and

• Split View can now be divided into up to 4 panes. Additionally, Split View state is now preserved after browser restart, and three layout options are available: vertical, horizontal, and grid. [Floorp Flasco]
  • While Firefox 149 introduced a Split View feature, this Floorp update improves upon it and customizes it to be more feature-rich to better suit Floorp. The current maximum is 4 panes, but we are considering increasing this in the future. However, since this is a very complex feature, it will undergo beta testing through Flasco for a while, and we plan to improve it based on user feedback.

@scottwilson peeps seem to whinge about this a lot, yet my  , my daily default browser for many many years, the alpha & thus notionally unstable fox, has never done this to me. never.

i read so many fedi & subreddit whines & whinges about such & such faults, bugs, misbehaviours et al perpetrated by this apparently miserably bad browser, all the while continuing to have a lovely online time here in my Nightly, & i just shrug & wonder how so many peeps can be so... unlucky 🤨🤷‍♀️
