Looks like Firefox is taking a couple of pages from the Vivaldi playbook
-
I saw this earlier today:
https://www.onmsft.com/news/firefox-tests-new-side-view-themes-editor-features
It appears to be FF's version of Web Panels. Doing a little more research into it, I found this:
https://testpilot.firefox.com/experiments/notes
Their version of the Note Panel.
Both are Extensions at the moment, but my reading is that they could be added to the browser itself eventually.
Wonder how long until they add customizable hotkeys, etc.

Looks pretty cool. The sideview is pretty much what they already had, just with the ability to switch between different sideviews from the open sideview and naturally webpanels. Themes are more complicated than on Vivaldi – 8 colors overall, but sharing is easy and the premade ones look ok. And notes seems ok too. Good effort.

Firefox (and any other browser for that matter) will have to do something out of this world extraordinary and Star Trek futuristic to win me back from Vivaldi.

Yeah, i also saw this https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/software/firefox-experiment-lets-users-customize-browsers-ui-colors/ which frankly just made me snicker.
I was a bit annoyed that the journalist didn't bother crediting V with the impetus that clearly prompted FF to "innovate". Slacko.

This reminds me of the old days when suddenly every browser "invented" this cool new feature of tabs in one window instead of windows for every new site visited. And everybody making a big fuzz about it - while not giving any credit at all to the real inventor.

They won't have better looking stuff than Vivaldi, imo Vivaldi Team is putting more hard work in everything they do.

Mozilla would never give Kudos to a competitor
I agree, but that's one of the reasons why good analytical journalism is so important. Otherwise companies [/politicians /dictators /oligarchs / ...] get away with any lies of commission or omission that they want. Result: the public gets duped... yet again.
