Tab groups is a must have feature along with workspaces.
they did have workspaces built-in pre quantum with the panorama feature. that’s an add-on now.
Could you please share the link to that add-on you mentioned? I have been using Simple Tab Groups
sure, it’s panorama tab groups.
Glad to finally hear more about tab groups!
Wait a minute… what day is it? Hmmm… not sure if I should trust, lol.
Here I’m still using the separate search box. Why wouldn’t I? Plenty of screen real estate horizontally. Nice to be able to do quick math there though I suppose.
Honestly, this is just the way it should be. Searching is fundamentally different than trying to access a website.
I love trying to search for something like “node.js” but can’t because it thinks it’s a website…
I’ve used the separate search box for so long that I forgot it’s not the default
I forgot about that feature. Good times. I’ll enable it on my computer today and see how it feels.
if you wanna test it out and its not available:
about:config ~> browser.tabs.groups.enabled ~> true
personally i find sidebery superior.
Sidebery is the best thing to happen to web browsers since tab groups
Looking at this I’m going to be sticking with simple tab groups myself. Using that via the sidebar seems way more efficient than this IMO.
I like most of this, but if search term persistence makes it harder for me to tweak the URL (like on mobile), it’s going to be really annoying. I’ll suspend judgment until I’ve tried it, I guess.
In settings, the first checkbox under “Search” is “Show search terms in the address bar on results pages”, so it should be relatively easy to disable if you really don’t like it. I’m going to try to see if I can get used to it first though.
Great news, thanks! And likewise, I’ll give it a chance. Ideally I’d be able to get to the URL from the omnibar with an extra click, to get the best of both worlds.
I’m not sure how you’d do it through clicking, but I can press Esc to close the suggestions, and then Esc again to get the original URL. So instead of my usual Ctrl+L -> Ctrl+C, it’s now Ctrl+L -> Esc -> Esc -> Ctrl+C.
Hmm, what do you dislike about the behaviour on mobile? Like, do you actually need to edit the URL of your search provider? Personally, haven’t run into a situation where I needed that yet…
Yup - most typically to change TLD (e.g. from example.com to my own country, when I’m after local results) or as a quick way of copying the URL without unnecessary extra arguments to share elsewhere.
Ah, right, because of
google.comandgoogle.co.ukand such. The search engines I use, don’t have the money for so many domain names, so it’s just a UI selection. 🫠
With the address bar rework, you could register both of them as a search engine and then simply select the other one to change language/region.Copying the URL could be problematic, yeah. I don’t have the update yet, so I wouldn’t know, if it’s something real simple like just right-clicking the address bar. If you really do need it, then it should still be possible to browse to the search engine’s webpage directly and issue your query via the search box on the webpage.
@[email protected] was dead right in their comment here - you can escape out of the search by tapping Esc twice, at which point you’re back to the URL. Panic over!
I tried and liked :)
This makes me think that Firefox for Android nightly has in the secret settings a Tab Strip option.
I tried, did not like. But it’s nice to have the option. Also, it’s an actual honest-to-god new feature worthy of a new version point vs a lot of stuff where I’m like, this is how you got to version eleventy two?
Hell yes finally
And another set of features to disable.
Lucky for you, they’re disabled by default!
Disabled by default, as of yet.
“You will use tab groups and you will be happy.”
The Great Browser Conspiracy. Yeah sure dude.
