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.
Rules
- Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.

I'll never understand you people that need like 50 tabs open at once.

As a librewolf babe, I'm keeping an eye on this: https://codeberg.org/librewolf/issues/issues/2458
Tab grouping is so useful and something I've always had to resort to extensions for. Good for Firefox for this, can't wait for it to make its way to a browser that doesn't sell users data.
Hey, you can use tab grouping in Librewolf if you set browser.tabs.groups.enabled to true in about:config

By now you would've expected someone to have pointed out what code is actually collecting that data that's supposedly sold.

So now when I open my mom's computer, she see 20 tab groups, I'll know it's even worse than it looks...
I'm glad they've added it to desktop, but based on my usage it's more important for me on mobile. Hopefully they bring it to Android soon.

Can someone at least help me understand what tabs have that bookmarks don’t?
If i have more then 4 tabs open i get anxious because i can’t intuitively remember what each does. I have folders for categories of bookmarks.
It's a combination of things... I'm a software developer, so I'll often end up with 20+ tabs open while resolving a problem.
- I don't want to bookmark them because I don't need them when I finish the task.
- I can't close the tabs until I'm sure everything's working because Google sucks these days and who knows how hard it'll be to find the source again.
- Relying on browser history is like finding a needle in a haystack. Tasks can take multiple days and 100 different entries in history.
- I might have "finished" a task that still needs tested and I know it's a bit shaky; I'll want to move onto a new task but keep the most useful references until I no longer need them.
- I only bookmark pages that I'll need long-term or multiple times. It's already hard enough to keep those organized...
My tab hoarding has only gotten this bad because search engines are terrible now and the amount of AI garbage to sort through makes finding anything useful a pain in the ass the first time; let alone trying to find it a second time.
Relying on browser history is like finding a needle in a haystack.
Oh sweet Satan, yes. I wish somebody could explain to me why browser history is so awful.

You don't have to, my dude, you can set your address bar to search through them.
through titles sure. but that's not what i need from any site.
