Try it out. It's a sidebar that allows you to put all kinds of websites and tools in small pop-out windows.
A less visually appealing, but much more powerful version of the opera chat sidebar.
I've tried to get something similar in Firefox, but nothing comes even close.
Built-in functions >>> addons any day of the week.
(cfr mouse gestures)
i fucking love vivaldi's mouse gestures.
whenever i use firefox i end up constantly opening the inspector view like an absolute moron
...whut? (I haven't had opera since the buyout)
Yeah, no. I should have put some hyphen I guess.
Opera chat-tabs. Opera has a sidebar for chat clients (eg messenger, WhatsApp, telegram,...) built-in. It works really well and is prettier than the Vivaldi implementation. Still sticking with Vivaldi though
Cool! Thanks for explaining =)
Before the buyout, I think you could use it as an AIM/ICQ client.
It's a thin, persistent bar on the left side of the page with tools and shortcuts. By default, it's where you find bookmarks, history, downloads and things like that, but you can also add custom websites to it as well. They pop out either over or alongside the main window (depending on whether the pin button is pressed), and they display the mobile webpage when available, to be more usable in such a small window. It's how I use Discord and Mastodon.
