Sometimes you just have to change for the sake of change, I suppose. How ironic then that they remade everything with dynamic ribbons, then re-remade everything with static ribbons, going back to their studies from the 90's. While I can understand that point of view, Microsoft did studies and found that people learn static UI elements better than dynamic ones that shuffle around.
You can fix the usability and accessibility problems, but you need to devote substantial engineering resources to doing so, and those are free if you just use the damn plain HTML. Using SPAs when they aren't strictly necessary is a great way to shoot your site's performance, usability, and accessibility in the foot. And this is with an adblocker enabled - this will only get worse with one disabled. Need I go on? Even for the lightest one, NPR, if you assume loading an article on the SPA version is instantaneous, you'd need to load 14 articles to make up for the slowness of the initial SPA load. GMail's HTML-only interface fully loads and renders in ~630ms for me. People claim they load faster, but I've never experienced that in practice - a plain HTML page loads in milliseconds, but downloading a giant gzip of Javascript and waiting for it to make a zillion API calls takes seconds. Issue tracker? HTML page.Įvery site I've used that's been plain HTML and CSS, with maybe minor supplements in Javascript, is much nicer to use than any SPA. You're writing a social networking site? That should be a regular HTML page, with a sprinkling of JS. You're writing Google Docs? Good for you, you can use an SPA. But they're good for a vastly smaller range of use cases than they're applied to. In 2008 I had a Norton Commander 'clone' made in such incredibly simple way, ALL file and media formats preview (plugins), with a bit of custom code for nsIProtocolHandler, and nsIURIFixup fixes :), kudos to archView extension by Pike/Solar Flare.)
(Just tested in Firefox 60.4.0.esr - newer versions may need some minor adjustements in CSS, preference set to true and probably some other fixes. there was an extension last_selected_tab doing like this AFAIR) - as you have only: Some part of it is extremely easy - to display ALL tabs side by side:įor the other part - to have only two panels, sibling is easy, otherwise you would need some JS to mark a tab as something like content-secondary and handle it (e.g.
#Tab suspender not working full#
If you want full Side by side browsing mode:
#Tab suspender not working how to#
Show all bookmarks -> check Load this bookmark in the sidebar -> click that bookmark - I'm not sure how to do this easy in newer Firefox versions - with Browser Console maybe ? You can get this effect just by loading some document into the sidebar e.g.
