However, when using a tiled window manager, it is more sensible to have the window manager manage multiple instances of the browser. Yet, I have still to find a setup that I am satisfied with. I'd like to ask with what kind of setup you browse. Specifically, how do you quickly find your tabs? Did you find a solution for when you have more tabs open than fit in, let's say, 160 horizontal pixels? How do you keep history, cache and other state data consistent between the different browser instances?

I'm in the same situation, and discovering that all major browser vendors in their infinite wisdom do not even provide an *option* any more to turn off tabbed browsing.Sun, 09 Feb 2014 13:18:24 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/256/how-to-let-i3-manage-tabbed-browsing/?comment=3385#comment-3385Comment by joepd for From the floating window manager paradigm, tabbed browsing is ${deity}sent.

I am using dwb http://portix.bitbucket.org/dwb/ without tabs, but have not yet managed to share cookies etc between browsing windows. There are options for the major vendors, but hidden somewhere in about:config or similar.

Now when you click on any link, hold down the shift key, to force it to open in a new window, and that new window will become a new tab in i3.Sun, 10 Nov 2013 20:36:25 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/256/how-to-let-i3-manage-tabbed-browsing/?answer=2860#post-id-2860Answer by lkraav for From the floating window manager paradigm, tabbed browsing is ${deity}sent.

Although with amounts of RAM these days it might be irrelevant. But the second thing is that i3 can't provide vertical tabs AFAICS. This is essential for any landscape format display for efficient space use.Sun, 15 Jul 2012 09:16:49 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/256/how-to-let-i3-manage-tabbed-browsing/?comment=266#comment-266
