From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Firefox Sidebar Addon like Brave or Vivaldi? (feddit.de)

There are tons of addons but they are all weird. I currently have lots of pinned tabs and would like to move those to a sidebar.

Only the favicon, custom side adding, like on Brave.

Is there such a thing in Firefox?

Edit: no I dont want all Tabs on the side! Just a few pinned ones like in Brave

i dislike horizontal tabs, so i go with sidebery / tree-style-tabs. also use a lot of pinned tabs and they sit on top of the list of tabs. this way i can have ~10 pinned tabs and still remember what all of these are.

+1 for Sidebery. It took me some time to get used to it, but now I can't go back.

You can't get rid of the top tab batt though which is fucking bollocks. So all you can do is F11.

Sidebery has a tutorial in the README. You can set it up that the tab bar automatically hides when the Sidebery bar is open.

I always wondered what it means by user"Chrome".css

Why the name chrome(anything related to colours?)

"The browser chrome" is the name historically given to the parts of the browser that are not the website. Then Google created a web browser and decided to name it after it - but userChrome.css existed before the browser Chrome did :)
