It’s so beautiful I might cry.

I do not understand. Could someone explain what’s happening?

Firefox is very busy at the top. It has like 2 or 3 layers, one for the tabs, another for the bookmarks. This person removed the extra crap and gained some space on the top of their browser window.

It’s about the tab- not the bookmarks-bar.

They got MS Edge like vertical tabs going, which after also using for nearly a year now I will say should be the default setup on wide/desktop formats.

We got more horizontal space than vertical in 16:9 and so on, so it maks no sense to have a second horizontal bar taking up precious vertical space when we can trivially use vertical tabs to use up the abundant space instead. More so because most websites use only a tiny fraction of the horizontal space in their layout anyways (case in point, Lemmy renders the same width whether I got vertical tabs or not).

Ever since MS Edge came out I’ve been looking for this in other browsers, and at least in Firefox I can do it myself, I just wish it was an official thing.

To be fair, vertical tabs has been possible in Firefox for way longer than Edge has even existed. For example this add-on is more than a decade old.

Everyone here seeing this: “Wow so sleek, amazing!”

Meanwhile, Mozilla: “Yeah so we’re going to remove compact title bars in favor of touch friendly nonsense. OK. Fine. We will just hide it in about:config until later when we will silently remove it.”

The other thing is that I have two monitors with separate taskbars, and as much clearance as that saves me vertically I just can’t envision a good setup for them. Both in the middle leaves and ugly block in the middle of my screen. Both on the outside means in the event I need go travel from one to the other I’m crossing a huge distance. Each on the left or right just looks awkwardly unbalanced to me and not aesthetically pleasing.
