Booty

How does this fragment anything? DLSS and Nvidia’s ray tracing tech have always been exclusive to their own RTX cards. Nothing changes in that respect. Ray tracing, as a whole, isn’t exclusive to Nvidia, but their tech has been.

The audio panel is definitely an issue, but Ear Trumpet solves it. I know relying on a third party solution for a system function isn’t ideal, but Ear Trumpet is too good.

Idk, I like the new start menu, especially once they added folders to it. I rarely need to see everything in my start menu and having my most used stuff right up front is nice. The only thing I wish is that I could completely get rid of recently used files on the bottom half.

If the menu nesting is referring to what you get when you right-click something, then yes. That can die in a fire. I don’t know who thought that was a good idea, and it’s wild because many people thought it was. Something like that doesn’t make it to production before passing teams of people.

I haven’t ever tried it on mobile. I probably don’t use my mobile browser enough to justify it, but now I’m going to have to look into it.

That’s totally fair, too. Not everyone gets bothered by the same things.

The last set up I used was this one and what made me give up is that it is so easy to accidentally close it. I had to look through my Firefox history to find that and when I closed the history sidebar, my tab bar was gone. It’s just a press of F1 to get it open, but why can’t I just make it persistent? Why does it have to share the same space as so many other features in Firefox? I don’t care if history wants to occupy the same space for the moment I need it, but when I’m done, go back to showing my tabs.

In addition to what others have said, I prefer more vertical space for webpages. Vertical tabs take up much less space and are, in my opinion, much easier to organize. I also don’t need to see the title bar constant and the favicon is plenty for me to keep track of what’s there.

Grouping helps me keep ideas together. I don’t like to bookmark things I’m only going to need for a few hours/days, so grouping tabs helps me keep them open without them getting in the way.

As I said in my original comment, none of those workarounds feel good. They show their seams constantly. I’ve tried a handful of extensions and not one feels as good as or is as feature complete as what’s native in Edge.

The moment Firefox gets native vertical tabs with drag and drop grouping, I’m making the switch. But, as it stands, the vertical tabs in Edge are irreplaceable and not a single of the “workarounds” to make them possible in Firefox feel good at all.

I need drag and drop tab grouping and vertical tabs. That’s it.

Edge also just introduced workspaces which feels like something I’m going to love once I get the time to mess with them.

I want to leave Edge because I want to be done with Chromium in general, but Firefox feels too behind the times for me.
