yup vertical tabs are the dealbreaker for me, edge got me hooked. Floorp is a fork that has it, haven’t used it a ton yet but i keep hearing more about it. I’ve been using Arc which i’m enjoying.

i can walk again :)

i just remembered this project: https://floorp.app/en/

japanese fork of firefox with lots of features and proper vertical tabs apparently. i’m looking forward to trying it.

tell me about it! literally the ONE thing keeping me from FF at the moment. vertical tabs are too vital to my workflow at this point to sacrifice.

super excited about the future of Orion!!

the vertical tabs are fantastic but can’t stand using MS. then i discovered Arc and never looked back. lots of super cool novel ideas coming out of that team. it is based on chromium though. but it’s sooo niiiice :/

one of my favorite movies! loved watching it with my dad especially. it’s a gem for sure.

what’d they say to you?

interesting! looks pretty cool, i’ll give it a shot later. thanks! something just feels morally wrong to me about actively using a chromium based browser, it’s always in the back of my mind lmao. we are all part of the problem.

the vertical tabs <3

now i use Arc though which has been amazing. i don’t think i can ever go back to horizontal tabs. i love Firefox so much, its just missing a good implementation of this one feature that i can’t live without! there are some extensions but it’s not even close to the native implementation of it on edge and arc browser especially

hahahaha

Yes but it currently wastes a lot of electricity and doesn’t charge the phone as fast in general.

why would you want this though? none of the applications will be compatible because they’re compiled for android… it would basically just be an app to download apps made for a different OS that won’t even work in your phone.

Ahh I see. Interesting! Thank you for clarifying.

I don’t know much but I don’t think Australia works that way? Do they have “states” or some equivalent? Curiously asking.

I remember that! Pretty sure I tried it out on my Nexus 5. It was cool but even then it seemed an impossible hill to climb. Looks like it was forked into a feature phone OS that’s maintained to this day!

I can maybe see it for running an incredibly skimmed down open source LLM, but even then RAM isn’t the biggest limitation. That’s just such a bizarrely niche use case. Almost nobody needs 24GB of RAM in their phone right now. Emulation is a niche case I can see being a little more reasonable. Still insane.

Framework seems to be a pretty awesome company. So happy to see them delivering on their word.

I was thinking the same thing. I think I would have done it to see what happened lol
