Implement tabs like in web browsers

Open morfikov opened this issue 6 years ago β€’ 33 comments

Is there a chance to implement tabs like the ones in web browsers? For instance, you have a list of channels, and you want to watch five videos. I would normally use the middle mouse button, and the vids would open in separate tabs. I can switch to individual tab and play its video.

I'd like an option to manage multiple videos for watching soon too. Tabs would be a familiar way.

Tabs would be nice, but I think multiple windows would be more useful, particularly for those who use workspaces and/or tiling WMs. Ideally having both would be nice.

Expect multiple windows as well.

  • allow create new window by drag a tab out
  • allow merge existing tabs to new or old window etc same as browser
  • allow pin tabs to left or right from desired area (such features has on vivaldi browser)
  • allow close tabs to right and left also selected random tabs
  • allow bookmark random tabs easily and bookmark on different categories (check vivaldi)

You can already open a second window by using the middle mouse button. However not everything you do in the second window will be saved, due to issues with how the data is stored

I would also love tabs and/or windows.

I'd also like to see this. I'd say it's the one feature that would make this app perfect.

I too would love tab support. Its the one thing missing for me until I can make the switch.

@GilgusMaximus normally in the browser when i do that it will open the tab in the background and wont start playing until i go into that tab. At this moment when u open a tab in Freetube the window popup your main window and start playing. Is this something that could be changed? Atm it is kind of frustrating when im opening 3 tabs, they will all open on top of the main window and start playing automatically.

@efb4f5ff-1298-471a-8973-3d47447115dc You can deactivate this only globally, by toggling the Autplay Videos and Autoplay Playlists setting under Player Settings

Sorry for my ignorance, but what tabs are you talking about?

Is there any news on when tabs might be implemented?

+1 essential feature

this is currently the only thing keeping me on brave browser

Maybe https://github.com/brrd/electron-tabs could work if someone here wants to work on it (some other stuff will need to be done most likely) πŸ™‚

Edit: electron-tabs is a bit hacky so i dont think we'd want to use that. Tauri seems to have better support for tabs so if we switch to tauri then adding tab support will be much more likely to happen

Good idea bro.

ToDo:

  • [ ] Integrate Electron-tabs in FreeTube

Any Update on this? This is the only reason I'm not using Freetube but I really want to.

Milor123 avatar Jul 18 '23 01:07 Milor123

Is there a bountysource for this? It's also my only blocker.

+1, opening stuff in new windows is way too clunky.

Nikoichu avatar Oct 12 '23 18:10 Nikoichu

I have recently started to try out Freetube, but I must say that this missing feature is the biggest reason to not do so right now.

+1 for tabs. ever since opera invented it it is the core of browsing the internet today...and watching online videoS

ivanjaros avatar Oct 18 '23 09:10 ivanjaros

Any updates on this feature?

nervefox avatar Nov 10 '23 14:11 nervefox

+1 for tabs. Since Youtube started to force people to get out of their platform this is a must have feature.

Please stop spamming this thread. Do you not realize everyone in the thread gets an email when you send your +1's? there's a reaction button for a reason. Please only provide discussion that is helpful for resolving the issue.

If there's any updates, somebody will post them.

Edit: I want notifications on for advances, not for +1's, and nobody is going to get to this faster because you sent +1

Bump. Taps please. I kinda desperately need Tabs. The lack there of makes this nearly entirely unfit for my general usages. :/

PestoPosta avatar Oct 17 '24 08:10 PestoPosta

It’s a real need, I installed FreeTube for all his feature, but also in order to have a de dicated app to this:

What a deception when I discovered I have to still use Firefox a little bit :/
