What do you think about a lightweight nightly WebKit browser for Windows with split view? I've just made a proof-of-concept in Qt.
If you are making a tiling web browser, there is already Mosaic (not the original one) based on Electron.

Looking for beta testers and cofounders
PS. There is another open source web browser based on Electron and React with tiled panes called Mosaic (the name is unfortunate).

What if there was a new lightweight open source web browser with split view but without Electron? I've just made a proof-of-concept in Qt.
This is a proof-of-concept of a lightweight cross-platform web browser made in Qt and a native webview (not based on Electron; possibly switching to Ultralight), showing a workspace with multiple panes, which you can arrange as you like. Similar to MetaDock (paid, closed-source, Windows-only) or Mosaic (discontinued, Electron-based). What do you think of it? Would it be useful? If it makes sense to continue it, I will open the source code looking for contributors.

Alternatives to Stack Browser

Rethinking Window Management in Gnome
If you use gnome, I can recommend Pop-Shell
- Why can't we have window management on a desktop environment ?
- Help. I’m using the PopOS tile windows extension(not on popOS) and most apps when opens after boot opens in a weird zoomed way as shown.

Best extension to mimic tiling windows manager?
Pop Shell is what I use, and it works really well (not available on the GNOME extensions store, get it from here, installation instructions are present near the bottom). Forge is another great option. If you want to completely change the look of Gnome, and have a completely different experience, try Material Shell, another awesome tiling extension.

Exterminate your desk: How to remove your mouse
I quite like Pop!_OS Shell (https://github.com/pop-os/shell) for tiling on Gnome, it feels like the right compromise for me of tiling while still having access to a full DE. Seems that installing it on other distribution should be easy enough.

Tiling speed
Is there a config of speed in PopShell https://github.com/pop-os/shell/tree/b5acccefcaa653791d25f70a22c0e04f1858d96e where we can adjust the speed of tiling? Just saying that extention like impatient only adjust the speed of animation, not the actual tiling or windows pops up (example would be archive manager pop-up).

Vanilla OS 2.0 Orchid base is changing from Ubuntu to Debian
One of my best friends uses the Pop Shell [1] GNOME extension to bring in an i3-like experience. It seems to lag behind a few GNOME versions, but system76 has instructions on how to use it on other distributions if you don't want to use Pop!_OS [2]

Why KDE Plasma was chosen as the default desktop environment for Asahi Linux
I am actually a pretty happy GNOME user -- granted, it is due to being able to tweak my experience with GNOME extensions and managing the aspects I care about with dconf settings managed with Home-Manager/Nix.
These are the GNOME extensions I find critical to me enjoying the UI:
- PopOS' Shell[0] for tiling windows
- Just Perfection[1] for making the appearance even more minimal/removing elements I don't use
I think if the GNOME team removed extension support altogether, I would absolutely switch to KDE. But for now, I get an extremely minimal desktop, and I really like it.
That being said, I typically live in my terminal, so I don't spend much time actually using the tools provided with my desktop environment.
(Just want to vocalize that there is at least one person who enjoys GNOME's approach of visually staying out of my way, but giving me a robust backend when I need it)
