From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I'm sure that when they rolled out tabs in browsers, there were people saying "I just have multiple windows open and Alt-Tab between them. This 'tabs' thing is for people who don't know how to Alt-Tab."
Eww

Maybe add some decent vertical tabs too?
What's wrong about it? I really like it.

Now do it on mobile and I'll happily switch
This was the only thing keeping me on chrome at work. Tab groups are so nice for keeping resources related to specific projects together, especially if you’re juggling several features/fixes at the same time.
