Why do web browsers have tabs? Isn't that a window manager responsibility?

Are you retarded

Try surf, a browser made by suckless. That's exactly what it is made for

so that you can have more shit open ....

No one that produces window managers is that forward-thinking.

Nice *snicker* aha ahahaha DEFAULT i3

Are you

The majority of people's window manager doesn't tab windows but the people wanted tabs so the browser implemented them.

Yes. But no-one is autistic enough to set up things properly so the browsers have to compensate.

This method wastes space with duplicate address bar, title bar, menu in each browser

OP doesn't actually use WM tabs in that screenshot.

Nah, pretty sure you are though.

>no javascript
thanks but I'm not a neckbeard

why do web browsers have adress bars? Isn't that a command line argument responsibility?

>Why do web browsers have tabs?
because most people arent autists like you

Surf does have javascript
It can even run Sup Forums x

do WMs have tree style tabs?

Because when Opera was actually good they invented this and once again Opera users pointed and laughed at every other browser user.

It really is a shame those brown cunts fucked Opera with Chromeshit. I still use version 12.

yes (tiling WMs that is). kinda inherently, since all keep track of windows with a tree style system. pic related shows three tabs each of which contains three tabs.

this. Pretty sure tabs in browsers actually predate tabs in WMs.

how would i arrange the browser tabs in a vertically expanded tree

like pic related? I don't think anybody has done that. It would require a whole new piece of software that looks at your existing windows and how your WM has organised them, and then draws the list. That software would have to be WM-specific. Maybe someone has done it, maybe not.

exactly, tree style tabs is the single most important thing in the web browsing world

OP has a fair point. But unfortunately giving the browser window manager responsibilities is more likely to happen.

The main reason for the redundancy is that a generic window manager wont have useful options like duplicate tab or bookmark all tabs and shit like that.
