Hardware video decoding is now enabled for AMD GPUs on Linux.

Very cool

On Linux, Firefox is now available on ARM64 (AArch64), with installation options via APT and tarballs. Flatpak support is coming soon.

Will be interesting to try an ARM Linux laptop in a few years...

If you mostly use your browser in a maximized format, then you'll have empty space to the left and right of most webpages. Vertical tabs make good use of that.

If you tile your browser window often or if you have relatively few tabs (per browser window), then it's not nearly as useful.

Uses my screen space more efficient and I can structure my tabs better in a tree hierarchy.

I have at most 5 tabs open at any time. I never even considered that someone would organize their tabs let alone in a tree hierarchy.

I do this mostly for work and university stuff, were I often need a lot of resources (documentations, tutorials, papers, etc).

I usually make a bookmark when I need a tab later. My bookmarks are organized. I only keep a tab open when I immediately need to use it. Like one tab of the paper I'm reading, one tab Deezer music, one tab search engine, and 1-2 tabs of sites I haven't closed yet but I'm about to.

Just tried out the new version and sadly you can't nest tabs. 🥲

But can they be collapsed to show icon only?

[–] pfr@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

There's an extension for that

[–] Kaiserschmarrn@feddit.org 2 points 4 months ago

I know. I'm using Sideberry myself for quite some time now. But native support would still have been nice.

Quite a lot made it into in this release, damn...

Just installed Firefox. How to change the scroll bar? All the answers Google provides don't work.
