- wongarsu 4y agoGiven that the issue of Firefox being forced to restart primarily happens on Linux, I doubt Edge is an option for them. Though I have to concur that Edge has one of the most stable and smooth vertical tab implementations around, most of the plugin-based ones are more fully featured but much less reliable.
- tmtvl 4y agoEdge has been released for Linux a while now... not that I know anyone who uses it, but it's available for those who need it.
- tracker1 4y agoI use it, and it's decent. And more in the vein of "it's not google" though I do slightly prefer the chrome dev tools to the modifications that Edge has made. I don't like a lot of the "helpers" for shopping though. And definitely don't like the article wall with ads that are really hard to block/script out.
- seba_dos1 4y agoEdge is not free. I wouldn't seriously consider using a non-free application for something as essential as everyday web browsing. You can't really have usable vertical tabs in Chromium via plugins either, unless you're content with wasting a lot of horizontal space for an ugly sidebar and vertical space for uselessly duplicated tab bar. Firefox is the only actual choice I'm aware about.
- prange 4y ago> I wouldn't seriously consider using a non-free application for something as essential as everyday web browsing. Why? Are you considering forking Firefox?
- prange 4y agoFor clarification - if you either contribute code or money to Firefox, you are clearly supporting the existence of a free browser. I don’t see how just using it does. So if you aren’t contributing to it you may as well use the browser with the best feature set for your use case.
