Be helpful
Posts to pop_os must be helpful. When responding to a user asking for help, do not provide tongue-in-cheek responses like "RTM" or links to LMGTFY. Linking to direct sources that answer the asker's question is fine, but it's advised to provide some explanation as to how you got to that source.
Critique should be constructive
We within the Pop!_OS community welcome helpful criticism or ideas on ways to improve. However, basic "It's bad" or other simple negative comments don't help anyone fix anything. When voicing a complaint about something, try to point out ways the complaint could be improved or worked around, so that we can make a better product for it.
This rule applies to both Pop!_OS and its projects as well as other products available from third-parties.
Don't post malicious "advice"
It can be funny to joke about malicious commands, however this is not the venue for it. Do not advise users to run commands which will lock up their systems, steal their data, or erase their drive. Examples of this include (but are not limited to) fork bombs, rm, etc.
Posts violating this rule will be removed, even if the post is clearly in jest. Repeated offences may lead to a ban. You may understand that the command isn't serious, but a new user might not.
No personal attacks
Posts making a personal attack on any user will not be tolerated.
No hate speech
Hate speech of any kind will not be tolerated. Any violations will be removed, and are grounds for a ban.

I'll switch to Firefox when they introduce tab stacking. Until then, I'm stuck with Vivaldi.
@notun @M4775 this is some bubble gum and duct tape engineering, but you could tab multiple instances of Firefox with tabbed windows in Pop until Firefox figures it out...
It's a decent suggestion. Using multiple windows in a tile stack would be the way I'd do it, but it sounds like that probably won't be a valid suggestion. I don't think it's a such a great feature that I'd comply with DRM based web page tracking and ads for. For clarity, any site with Google's DRM will need to be seen with Chrome or you won't be able to use the site, period. You will be 100% tracked and served ads. They will know exactly who you are on any site. They will clutter your pages, tab stacked or otherwise. I don't believe Google when they say this for your safety and will stop ads. It will give them exclusive power to push ads and companies will pay them a premium to force ads in your pages. This isn't Google's engineers who are pushing this. It's Google corporate making it's engineers break the web for profit and ad dominance.
Losing the ability to block ads completely or have tab stacking - I know which way I'd go. But hey, you can't force people to do anything, and unlike Google I wouldn't, so I'll just leave it there.
Or just use Vivaldi until they do.
Which is Chromium-based
And like I said, until a non-chromium browser adds tab stacking, I'm stuck with Vivaldi.
This isn't rocket science.

It's not compatible with mobile, so hard pass
All you need to do is look at all the 1-star reviews to see it doesn't function like Vivaldi stacking.
