        Tab groups where natively implemented?

            Simple tab groups works better tbh. It uses the features to hide, list and manage tabs.

            But a native in-line implementation would be best.

              I actually prefer Chrome’s tab groups, preferring to have groups visible and one click away. Ideally the user would be able to choose whether to show or hide inactive groups.

                True. That is an entirely different UI and also underlying browser issue. Mobile does not have Containers or process isolation.

          Closest thing to that feature is this add-on:

            Very laggy and overcomplicated, but found that too!

              Yeah it’s kinda laggy but does its job. I guess that was the reason why did they remove it from Firefox, it was slowing things down.

                Afaik Epiphany has this.

                  Never used Epiphany as my main browser but it’s nice to have it around as an another open-source browser project. Gotta check that feature.

                    I mean, why not use Geckoview? Mozilla is doing something really nice and has the only full fledged browser with actual Addon support. Meanwhile GNOME and KDE have half-baked projects that use engines only really maintained by Google and Apple.

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.
