I tried this last night and I actually really like it. The default theme seems to have changed also and looks much cleaner.
And you can have AI models open in the sidebar. Not only chatgpt but also other open source and free models like huggingface. I thought that was very cool.
I don’t know if the general public have even tried any other model than chatgpt. It’s fun to play around with others.
The fact that their page doesn’t even show a screenshot of the new feature doesn’t bear well for how popular it’s going to be. I’m already going into it with a I probably won’t like this attitude and that doesn’t help
Nightly is aimed at developers. I’m sure there will be an article with pictures once it’s closer to release.
I was surprised to see the article doesn’t include a screenshot of the feature in action.
Well, I tried it and it looks good. I’m glad they are adding something new to the browser. It’s been a long time since that happened it feels like.
It’s buggy still though and still in development.
Just this past year
- Builtin offline translation
- A pdf editor
- Firefox View
- And of course a whole bunch of privacy, security, performance, and developer features
Finally vertical tabs, have been missing those
I have a custom FF theme that, combined with a tab tree extension, gives me a vertical layout, but it’s still kind of hacky. It will be nice to finally have fully supported vertical tabs.
I’m especially hopeful that native support will make those extensions even better.
I think I like the direction they’ve been going in lately.
I can’t wait for vertical tabs! I can finally stop using so many plug-ins.
Though the AI stuff, it’s so much better to get a dedicated program or app for them, I do not need an AIO browser for freaking AI.
Vertical tabs are what kept me on Microsoft Edge for the longest time (alongside that surf minigame that can be played offline), but I’m not a fan of that thing anymore so… Firefox it is.
Please bring me vertical tabs.
I actually prefer to just integrate the AI stuff into my usual chat apps [1]. I don’t see much point in building a whole new app (except to get more control over the settings, but for most people even that’s probably unnecessary)
Years ago, I used an extension called Tree Style Tab. It’s better than just vertically displaying tabs. New tabs open as children, and you can collapse branches, so things stay organized when you have a ton of tabs.
Another popular one is sideberry, which is a variation of the same thing. :)
I use sideberry in floorp which has been great!
Add tab groups like chrome!
Is there a screenshot?
Did they really send out an opinion survey, woth a question on something they already did?
Does this mean PWAs are hidden in there somewhere?
Mozilla has so much blogs and sub-blogs, you can’t really know which one to follow for news and announcements
