I was looking into this because of the whole WEI thing and Vivaldi being part of the Chromium ecosystem—I found a tiling plugin for the 'fox, but visually, it's not seamless like Vivaldi's.
Each tile still looks like its own window complete with the tab space up top.
FYI, Vivaldi posted their opposition to WEI here. If website operators use the scheme then browsers not implementing it are at a loss. Hopefully every chrome based project (including edge!) is able to remove it so Chrome official is the only one where it works. Starving the approach of participants sounds like the only easy to make it fail.
While that's definitely where we need to aim, chrome has such a massive market share even if all the non chrome browsers band together it might not be enough.
I can see banks and employment sites implementing these things and forcing the hand of the smaller browser. I hope I'm wrong, but that seems likely.
the only thing google chrome is good for is destroying humanity. everything they do now has an ulterior motive to benefit themselves. just like apple and MS.
