paxmod VS ladybird

No native support for multiple tab rows in stable ... but you can take a look at this: https://github.com/numirias/paxmod

There are some examples you can explore that I am aware of: https://github.com/onemen/TabMixPlus and https://github.com/numirias/paxmod

More specifically: - multi-row_tabs.css - paxmod - TabMixPlus

See https://github.com/numirias/paxmod or https://github.com/onemen/TabMixPlus using Firefox Developer Edition.

Firefox Developer Edition + https://github.com/numirias/paxmod or https://github.com/onemen/TabMixPlus

https://github.com/numirias/paxmod should help.

A browser is not a web app, it doesn't have a strict separation of "frontend" and "backend" in the same sense that a web app would have; the lines are drawn quite differently. The rendering engine is never "just" the rendering engine; you can't abstract or swap it without tremendous effort.

If you'd like to learn more about how a web browser project would organize its internal architecture, but are discouraged by the complexity of Chromium, Firefox, etc. I'd recommend source diving Ladybird (https://github.com/SerenityOS/ladybird), NetSurf (https://www.netsurf-browser.org/), or Dillo (https://www.dillo.org/).

I'd love to see a stable version of a brand new web browser, not based on Blink or Gecko, such as Ladybird or Flow Browser. Competition is a good thing.

note, native Windows is not currently supported:

Google is dominating, pushing through Android and via Googles-Webservices and Microsoft is using it now. A reason to worry because developing new web-engine requires an big effort. For instance Microsoft only allows usage of Microsoft Teams Web with a webbrowser based upon Blink. So were back in 2002?

WebKit features also WebKit2Gtk (Epiphany) and Qt5-webkit (Otter) with native integration. They use the native toolkits, which is an advantage! Interaction with the open-source community around WebKit seems rather good and the engine is integrated by others. Gecko seem not to be integrated by others, but by forks only? You remember when Chrome was considered slick and fast? Originally Google used the native toolkit on every platform but know they use an own solution on every platform, like Firefox.

Maybe there is a new kid on the block:

Funny you should ask: https://github.com/SerenityOS/ladybird

I've not heard of Ladybird before. True, it's a free and open browser engine and a very interesting project!
