On Vertical vs Horizontal Tab Hot Takes

Manuel Moreale published a blog post on the vertical vs horizontal tabs debate. But instead of choosing a side in what is ultimately an inconsequential debate, he made the case for nuance, or asking "better based on what?" I agree in full. I use vertical tabs on desktop (two 1920x1080 monitors) because (1) I prefer the set up and (2) I keep my task bar on top of the screen, which makes horizontal tabs awkward. However, I prefer horizontal tabs on my laptop. In deciding whether to use vertical […]

[Reply] On Vertical vs Horizontal Tab Hot Takes

I agree with a good blog post by Mauel Moreale that whether to use vertical or horizontal browser tabs should depend on how one uses the web browser.

@pheonix Back in the day I paid for #Opera and in these recent times I have paid for #Horse and #Orion

I don't actively use any of them right now 😆 but I went through phases of using them all.

Receiving this reply from the @Vivaldi team was unexpectedly uplifting. It is rare for a simple developer response to bring this much genuine joy.

I have been a fan since the classic Opera days, and honestly, I still deeply miss the Presto engine. But seeing Vivaldi not just survive, but remain highly competitive in today's monopolized browser market, is truly inspiring.

The people behind this project are absolute geniuses and I sincerely hope they continue to grow, thrive, and capture the significant market share they deserve. This is exactly why supporting independent, user-focused tech is so important.

Unfortunately, I did not have time to engage in my regular morning reading, but we can take advantage to clear links from my to-use backlog. 1.

Lilbits: Vertical tabs for Chrome, Mac OS 10 for the Nintendo Wii, and a CyberDeck Pi

The CyberDeck Pi is a DIY handheld computer that looks like something designed for a world where smartphones never existed. It’s a chunky device that probably won’t fit in your pocket. But it’s also a full-fledged computer that can run desktop GNU/Linux software thanks to its Raspberry Pi brains. And it’s made using a combination of off-the-shelf components and 3D-printed parts.

In other […]
