I think you might be looking for tab groups? Which, incidentally, are also coming.

There's the Side View extension, perhaps?

They take up the mostly-unused horizontal screen space, though, whereas the vertical space that it frees up is far more precious to me. And I get to see most of the tab titles as a bonus!

@phanpy@hachyderm.io's "catch-up" feature is basically that.

I assume there aren't any countries where passing them on the other side is legal?

For good reason, clearly.

Keep in mind that having an extensively customised setup makes you more fingerprintable - just the fact that some things are not visible to a website makes you unique. Generally, most of the defaults will be best for everybody - especially when it comes to options that are not exposed in the UI (i.e. through about:config).

What could be interesting for you is just running uBlock Origin and have it block all JavaScript by default. That'll block most of the scripts that potentially do tracking (and that Firefox doesn't block natively, e.g. because they also provide functionality), and you can relatively easily enable them on a per-site and per-script basis.

Almost my entire career I've worked in open source, so it's very easy to see what my technical work looks like. No one has ever looked at it.

When I have been on the other side, I have looked at the GitHub "portfolio" of junior applicants, but TBH, it didn't bring me much. There will always be lots of opportunities for improvements in those examples, but that's the point - I expect them to improve on the job.

More experienced developers will almost never have significant work on GitHub, and if they do, it's not a "portfolio", but just their past work.

Maybe learn to take screenshots first? :P

@janvlug@mastodon.social heeft twee lijstjes: Tweede Kamerleden en politieke partijen. Volgens mij zijn ze een beetje verouderd, maar wellicht dat hij ze binnenkort bijwerkt - volgens mij is hij wel op de hoogte.

The fact that it breaks so often might be a pointer as to why it was removed - sounds like it would be quite a maintenance burden.

However:

I guess really all I want is the option to have a task bar icon for each 'website'

Oh this is great - I understood why the extension button needed to be accessible, but it was still annoying to have it there all the time. This looks like a good compromise.

How about beta testing it so that other users get a better experience? It's freely available for everyone and open source, i.e. we can all contribute.
