@kingtor well fwiw, i'm a "fediverse type", & i continue using my desktop Linux with daily delight. i laugh about, often at, the many panic merchants volubly screaming to abandon ship now. so much operatic hysteria.

You’ve just been upgraded to Firefox Nightly 148!

Every 4 to 5 weeks, a new major version of Firefox is released and as a result, the Nightly version increases as well.

This is a good time to thank you for helping us make Firefox better and to give you some pointers to documentation, communication channels and news sites related to Nightly that may be of interest to you.

@jbz fwiw... i still use

& love it. i disable or otherwise just don't use its #AI bullshit baggage. i enjoy using its new long-awaited #SplitTabs feature. i use the brilliant #FirefoxSecondSidebar project, giving me a #WebPanel second-sidebar more powerful & flexible than any of #Floorp, #Zen [before they removed it], & Vivaldi. i use the magnificent #TreeStyleTab AO for exquisite infinitely-nestable hierarchical tabs that blows FF's native vertical tabs, chromium's, Floorp's, Vivaldi's outta da water. I use the also magnificent #SimpleTabGroups AO to give me excellent #Workspaces capability. my #uBlockOrigin is in Advanced Hard Mode, & the many tens of thousands of dynamic filter rules i've cumulatively created over the years helps make day to day browsing simply lovely. I use custom #userChrome.css, #userContent.css, & user.js files to tailor my Nightly's UX & UI "just so".

every day for many many months now i read so many posts from peeps [rightly] complaining about "what the fuck is mozilla doing to us with this ai garbage?", but who then solicit or advocate jumping to another #Gecko variant, or [& these ones really make me roll my eyes] say they're now going to chrome coz why not... ffs.

for years i have actively also used / tested all the browsers named above [except chrome, never that pig-swill, but chromium yes], & also #librewolf, #waterfox, #tor ... & in all cases i find various UX & UI aspects that frustrate me so much that sooner or later i always return to my bespoke #FirefoxNightly .

for those willing & indeed interested in bothering, afaict we foxxers can still have our cake & eat it.

fwiw.

totes agree with critiques like this. #ZenBrowser lost me a long time ago with its terrible unreliability for tab preservation across restarts, & its bizarrely unintuitive "aesthetics over utility" fetish. 🤯

https://www.reddit.com/r/zen_browser/comments/1oequoi/newish_zen_user_confused_about_the_simple_things/

each week i ask myself why i've not yet uninstalled it, & each week i answer that i'm clinging on in the fading hope of a design eureka moment... which i think is prolly delusional on my part. every other update i launch it to see if sanity has returned, only to close it again in frustration.

meanwhile...

#TIL that afaict, based on an hour of testing, the AO #SimpleTabGroups seems fully compatible with the wondrous AO #TreeStyleTab, & now the ooniverse has shifted. My

#FirefoxNightly ipso facto now has the power of #TST with #Workspaces.

Well, that's inelegant. I mostly use the Simple Tab Groups extension in #Firefox and tried the newer built-in Tab Group function, which is totally different. They don't play well together.

Visually, #SimpleTabGroups really works more like the different virtual tab bars #Sleipnir uses. I use ten STGs in Firefox. What I was looking for was tab stacking more akin to #Vivaldi, where stacks stay on their starting workspace/tab-group/tab-bar.

But no. With Firefox #TabGroups, the labels for new groups show up on all the simple tab bars (workspaces/tab-groups). Yet the tabs within the inbuilt groups don't. Inconsistent.

Look at the bar under the "y" block. That means that group is expanded, but since the tabs within it are from my blue tab bar, they don't show up on my red tab bar (identified by the circle before the address bar).

So it seems Tab Groups fail me. If someone was not using grouping in one of the ways already possible, they might be a nice addition. But they don't cooperate with the way I already used. They should have been a flourish, but to me they're a flop.

Do you use the #SimpleTabGroups addon in #Firefox (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/simple-tab-groups/) and do you want to #boost your productivity using it?

Go to the addon's settings panel and assign your own #keyboard #shortcuts to:
- Load previous group (mine is Ctrl+⬅️)
- Load next group (mine is Ctrl+➡️)
- Move selected tabs to custom group (mine is Ctrl+⬆️) (remember that you can select multiple tabs by pressing the Ctrl button!)
- Manage groups (mine is Ctrl+⬇️)

Happy tab grouping!

I primarily use #Firefox, but I must note that #SimpleTabGroups doesn’t work nearly as reliably and smoothly as #Workspaces do in #Vivaldi.

Chaos in your #browsertabs? Too many open, always searching for one or more?

Solution: #addon

Simple Tab Groups.

Organises your tabs in groups, which are accessible via two clicks; is pretty powerful (i.e. RegEx for automatically put new tabs into groups), but already wonderful in its basic functions. Wonder how I fared without it even after only 2 days of usage.

@publicvoit Auch eine interessante Idee. Seitdem ich #SimpleTabGroups installiert habe, komme ich aber auch ganz gut mit einem Fenster aus. Bin sehr zufrieden damit:
