  • 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.


  • 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.



  • And it’s still not what I’d (personally) call pleasant. I tried a plethora of different setups and not one comes close to what Edge offers out of the box.

    I’m not trying to shill for Edge. I would 100% prefer not to use it just based on principle. But I can’t help it that it has features I’ve come to NEED.



  • 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.
