From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

This is a useless feature. Here are some purely UI features that are more important, and exist in Chromium:

  • more compact hight, saving space (make browser.compactmode.show official!)
  • CSD decorations (_ 🔳 x) in the top right, hitbox at the very edge, f**k GNOME for this
  • Tab groups natively in the Tab bar, its the most organic

Apart from that Firefoxes UI is way better than Chromiums and doesnt need to copy anything.

Then work on performance, process isolation etc.

> more compact tab bar, saving space

Not sure if you're aware, but there's a hidden setting to make Firefox's toolbars more compact:
