I'm enjoying Librewolf. It has built-in container tabs!

I have heard good things about Floorp. I have been trying it myself. It has workspaces, which is a very important tool for me.

Unfortunately, it does seem to be suffering from performance issues, which appears to be a recent thing. Hopefully, that does get solved.

Oh, hey, Floorp just did a very cool thing of closing all my tabs and deleting all my workspaces with no apparent way of recovery (no, there is no relevant window in 'recently closed windows').

I guess, I will need to manually recover the entire setup of several hundred tabs.

I'm using Floorp which is either a more feature rich or more cluttered fork similar to Zen, depending on how you wanna look at it.

Who I'm imagining came up with the name Floorp.

It's perfect lol. I fucking hate the name. I'm keeping an eye on Zen and have it installed and will consider moving over to it after some more development happens, and it's mostly just because I can't fucking tell people "Yearh, I use Floorp" without dying a bit on the inside each time.

And also the Discord fork I use is called fucking "Goofcord". Like come on.

Floorp is now an alien-themed browser. I don't make the rules.

And a fine floorp glorp to you too, comrade.

[–] Erika3sis@hexbear.net 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Sometimes I think about making the web browser from my conworld real just because the name slaps a lot harder than something like "Floorp", but then I remember that the name only really slaps if you have the cultural and linguistic background of a country that literally doesn't exist

I don't do any world building or anything but I can imagine. Ok I did start a world building thing about a dystopian cyberpunk version of LA until I realized that was super played out and then lost interest in the story I was writing because the trans allegory was a bit too on the nose.

It's Japanese, that might be why
