[–] SomethingBurger@jlai.lu 113 points 2 years ago (9 children) Monitors are horizontal, webpages are vertical. Horizontal tabs waste precious space. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 18 child comments replies: [–] Ephera@lemmy.ml 85 points 2 years ago (4 children) It always bothers me about this whole vertical tab concept, that, on a theoretical level, I'm fully on board with what you're saying. But in practice, I'll often have Firefox tiled side-by-side with another window, and then it's painful for that sidebar to take up any space at all. I am happy, though, that this feature is being integrated for the people that find it useful. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] Nonononoki@lemmy.world 22 points 2 years ago (1 child) Hear me out, responsive tabs.

Horizontal tabs. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] sysop@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago Yeah... technology just isn't there yet for mozilla. Good idea though, just not feasible. Best they can do are chatbots. permalink fedilink source parent [–] boreengreen@lemm.ee 12 points 2 years ago* I have a keybind to close the tab side window. Works pretty nicely when i have firefox tiled beside some other window. I don't need to see the tabs all the time. But when i am looking at them; it's nice to have them stacked, on the side. permalink fedilink source parent [+] stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 1 year ago) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent [–] EddoWagt@feddit.nl 2 points 2 years ago The tabs could collapse to just an icon and expand when hovering over it, it still takes up some space, but not nearly as much permalink fedilink source parent [–] Psythik@lemmy.world 20 points 2 years ago (5 children) But how are you going to read the title of the tab without making the sidebar too wide?

Monitors are horizontal. Tab names are horizontal. They should be listed vertically with the names written horizontally. You can hide them if you need to, but I find my monitor has plenty of space. permalink fedilink source parent [+] piccolo@ani.social 1 point 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent [–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 0 points 2 years ago That would work well with my dual 32" 4K monitors I'm not so sure it would work well on a 15" laptop.
