It's kind of hilarious to me that the OS & browser are in such competition.

I'd love to see a desktop wm that tries to handle tabs the same as windows. Android Chrome did this & I really wish it was still an option. Having one set of tools to navigate across workspaces makes so much sense. We just haven't ever investigated or pursued the kind of high-radix desktop/wm/shell where we could actually survive it.

Really enjoy the quick review of Arc. I confess it's been a while since I've had an extension to put tabs on the left.

Hey like... Is that possible in extensions with WebExtensions V2 or MV3? It's not is it? The browser has some extensibility but retains ultimate & total power over the overall experience, only carves out narrow affordances. Can't wait to hack the shit out of this modest tyrannic anti-choice some day! WebBrowserExtensions v1 here we go!
