get a better window manager faglord
>>
>>57393697
>>57393689

don't have to fuck with this, Chromium just does it for me because they care

people have been complaining about this for years, Firefox knows about this problem and does nothing.

And I'm not switching my DE or window manager just to acommodate one program
>>
Windows and OS X don't have this problemâ„¢.
>>
>>57393689
oh i just looked into Pixel Saver, I rarely maximize my browser, i prefer reading and shitposting in a square window

if I maximized, I would just go full screen mode and there'd be no problem
>>
>>57393680
I just modified my userchrome file to put the tabs in the title bar.
Way better than Chromium/Chrome which always shows close buttons on inactive tabs until they reach a set width and will shrink tabs to the point where you can't determine what page they are without waiting for tooltips.
>>
>>57393722
>Chromium just does it for me because they care
No they don't.
They have literally closed feature requests relating to tab usability that people have been complaining about for years, that there is plenty of community support for.
>>
>>57393722
This is what fucking drives me up the walls about Firefox. Aesthetics matter. Having that fucking bar wasting space drive me up the wall.
>>
okay
>>
>>57393905

what i meant is that Chromium/Chrome on Linux has the same integrated window/tabs bar that it does on Windows or Mac. Their Linux version is just as good as any version they have

Firefox's Linux version lacks this very basic, old as fuck feature and people have been bitching about it for years
>>
>>57393680
You do realize there's an addon exactly for that kind of autism, right?

However I'm using chromium myself because of the gtk2 file picker. gtk3 is cancer
>>
I actually prefer having a titlebar. Having a label for the window and also having a convenient place to grab the window from is more useful than saving a few pixels.
>>
>>57393962
nothing works, i've tried multiple addons/combinations of addons believe me. best case scenario is you shrink the menu bar and auto hide but lose the functionality of dragging it around.

there is no addon that makes Firefox on linux's window look and work like it does on the other OS'es
>>
>>57393990

use Firefox on Windows, you can still grab and move the window around. No titlebar on linux chromium and I drag it around all the time. That's why I switched from Firefox

as for the title, it tells me the webpages on the tabs it's kinda redundant imo

Even with shitty WM, there is some extension for Firefox, just Google "title bar remove firefox". You'll probably have to tweak it a little though (2 minute job).
>>
>not using the low-key best browser
>>
>>57394395

and then you can't drag it around. another anon posted an addon called 'drag and drop' something that might make me switch back, we'll see

>>57393697
is there a way to hide tabs completely in chrome?
>>
>>57394639

in Windows you can hide the titlebar and the titlebar buttons will be on the tab bar, and you've been able to do that for a LONG time

Chromium/Chrome has this function on for both OS'es
>>
>>57393680
Meanwhile I still can't use Chrome because it refuses to listen to the theme on my OS that literally every other program abides by.
>>
>want to use Chromium on Windows
>it's a huge pain in the ass to install, configure and update it

I don't like Firefox much anymore but at least it's ez to use.
>>
>>57395026
I'll give you that. You might be able to find a Chrome theme that doesn't clash too much though

>>57395034
Chromium is basically Chrome. If you're scared of Google afaik Chromium still sends your info to them. I just switch to Firefox when it's time to jack off, even though I was jacking off on Google since the 90's. Maybe they think I found Christ
>>
>>57395098
There's Chromium builds with Google shit removed.

>>57395208
i might be a defeatist but at least I can use the best image search, web search, go to mainstream sites (like 4chan) that use google analytics and just not give a shit

oh yeah, and my ISP knows my real name and address, because I'm not a 16 year old paranoid in his mom's basement

For me is because scrolling is slower. If there is one thing that bothers me is inconsistency when I'm dealing with anything other than videogames. So seeing the browser slow down as I scroll further is pretty silly.

Of course, the decorations on Chrome are also silly, but I'd rather deal with that than sluggishness.
>>
>>57395578

i don't really give a shit, but this is just another example of Chrome being a better browser than Firefox

>muh ~200mb of RAM

not everybody is jewishly running a shitbox that can't spare a little extra RAM in exchange for performance
