Add multiple Tabs

Open github2099 opened this issue 3 years ago • 6 comments

User proposal

Why should we implement this? What is the user benefit? <

To be used as a regular browser. Only one single tab can be use under current version, which is not practical for regular use.

Ideas for Solution

Let us know if you have an idea on how to solve this user proposal <

Please add the support of multiple tabs like the Android version. I understand this might be brought up previously, but it's still not implemented :(

I think Firefox Focus for iOS/iPadOS is at a severe disadvantage compared to its competition. Because other privacy focused browsers like Brave Private Browser supports tabs. Considering historically, Firefox was the originator of tabbed browsing on the web, a Mozilla product should not, not have it.

Though, I might be wrong in thinking that the developers never considered it. Is there a technical or product reason why tabs were kept out of Firefox Focus?

Coming from Android, where there’s at least rudimentary support for tabs, I was surprised that it seems to be completely missing on the iOS version. I think this is an essential feature even for a browser that’s meant to provide a focussed experience, since browsing the web often requires opening multiple links in the background for later reference.

@isabelrios I was thinking of taking on the task but I don't know if it will be accepted once I finish it, what do you think?

Thanks!
