A popup is overlay / in front of your viewport or UI, the sidebar is not in front of it. If what you see is (like a) popup, you’re talking about the web panel, which a different concept Zen added. Indeed in Firefox the vertical tabs are part of the sidebar and thus they can’t be move independently. In Zen, the vertical tabs are NOT part of the sidebar, and thus you can move the sidebar to the right while the tabs remain on the left.
It’s configurable from the sidebar dropdown menu, e.g. when opening your bookmarks (Ctrl+B):
But you can also use this about:config setting:
Again you keep calling it a popup, but it really isn’t. It does not pop up or overlay the browser viewport, it sits on the right and pushes the viewport left reducing its width.
I’ve donated in November after I switched back to Firefox as my main browser. I read about the search deal dependency and wanted to contribute to what Mozilla called “reclaim the internet”. Feel something akin to ‘buyer’s remorse’ when I now read how little goes to development of Firefox/Gecko (the only multi-platform alternative engine for rendering the internet) and how much goes into CEO salaries.
No, there are ‘workspaces’ -accessed via the buttons on the bottom of the vertical tab bar-with their own tabs, but you can’t group tabs within one workspace (yet). And yes I can open the sidebar -which is not a popup- on the other side. The thing that’s popping up on the left next to the tabs and overlays the site is what Zen calls the web panel.
That’s Denmark (Danish), this article is about The Netherlands (Dutch).
I don’t envy the man at all. Horrible limbo position he’s in with no mandate of his own.
Welcome to today’s episode of ‘How to screw over your own prime minister and lose your credibility as a country on the EU stage’. Disclaimer: I’m Dutch.
That popup you mention sounds like the zen web panel rather than the sidebar. In total that gives 3 concepts: vertical tabs, a floating web panel next to that and the sidebar. I like what they’re trying to do, but it’s not all polished yet with some odd UI glitches or things requiring (re)configuring like the toolbar. That combined with bad font rendering and missing tab groups made me switch back to FF for now…where I now disabled all usage data sharing options.
Indeed. It uses some of the vertical tabs features in Firefox, but adds workspaces (~tabbed tab window) that you can assign default containers (like banking, personal, shopping) to. Tab groups are missing, but are being worked on. Don’t expect nested tabs or trees like Sideberry or TST offer though. Honest disclosure: the implementation is not fully polished yet. The location where new tabs are opened or their remembered location after closing/opening the browser is not consistent.
Yes, I have tabs on the left and sidebar opens on the right.
Upvoted it. The inability to use a sidebar (local LLM chat) on the other side with vertical tabs or at all when using sideberry together with their changed stance on selling user data made me move to Zen browser.
You mean like… CETA?
What I mean is the whole threats of tariffs thing is distracting people from the hollowing out of the government and checks / balances that make it a democracy. Removing protections against and sanctions on Russia. Pouring all the goodwill and trust on the stage of world politics down the drain. Who stands to benefit from an isolated US and infighting within NATO?
All distractions and creating confusion… stop listening to what he says and start paying attention to what he and the people he appointed do and who benefit from it.
