I tried, did not like. But itβs nice to have the option. Also, itβs an actual honest-to-god new feature worthy of a new version point vs a lot of stuff where Iβm like, this is how you got to version eleventy two?
-
Tab groups is a must have feature along with workspaces.
-
they did have workspaces built-in pre quantum with the panorama feature. that's an add-on now.
-
Could you please share the link to that add-on you mentioned? I have been using Simple Tab Groups

Glad to finally hear more about tab groups!
Wait a minute... what day is it? Hmmm... not sure if I should trust, lol.
-
if you wanna test it out and its not available:
about:config ~> browser.tabs.groups.enabled ~> true
personally i find sidebery superior.
-
Sidebery is the best thing to happen to web browsers since tab groups
-
Looking at this I'm going to be sticking with simple tab groups myself. Using that via the sidebar seems way more efficient than this IMO.

Here I'm still using the separate search box. Why wouldn't I? Plenty of screen real estate horizontally. Nice to be able to do quick math there though I suppose.
-
Honestly, this is just the way it should be. Searching is fundamentally different than trying to access a website.
I love trying to search for something like "node.js" but can't because it thinks it's a website...
-
I've used the separate search box for so long that I forgot it's not the default
-
-
-
I might go back to separate search box too. Had it before. The best thing to me is, that search term is still there and I can simply click to do a search with different engine without retyping it.
-
I forgot about that feature. Good times. I'll enable it on my computer today and see how it feels.
-
-
I like most of this, but if search term persistence makes it harder for me to tweak the URL (like on mobile), it's going to be really annoying. I'll suspend judgment until I've tried it, I guess.
-
In settings, the first checkbox under "Search" is "Show search terms in the address bar on results pages", so it should be relatively easy to disable if you really don't like it. I'm going to try to see if I can get used to it first though.
-
Hmm, what do you dislike about the behaviour on mobile? Like, do you actually need to edit the URL of your search provider? Personally, haven't run into a situation where I needed that yet...
-
Yup - most typically to change TLD (e.g. from example.com to my own country, when I'm after local results) or as a quick way of copying the URL without unnecessary extra arguments to share elsewhere.

You can close a group and reopen it later.
I thought tab groups on the desktop were neat but ignorable... Until browser vendors started implementing stuff like this. Now it's basically a halfway point between an open tab and a bookmark. Excellent for organization.
-
I group tabs to bookmark en masse later.
-
-
This makes me think that Firefox for Android nightly has in the secret settings a Tab Strip option.
-
I tried and liked :)
-
Hell yes finally
