Probably my favourite Linux YouTuber - Brodie Robertson - posted a video today about Floorp browser. It's a custom build of Firefox with a heavy focus on customization. Now, it's built off the ESR stream, so it's not going to have all the cutting-edge features that the latest main release would have, but most (if not all) of those features will probably end up in Floorp over time.
I think my favourite feature so far is the sidebar that lets you integrate websites that you can access on the fly. You can see in my screenshot that I created this post using a Tangled panel that I added. I've also got one for a Gacha game that I play way too much of. The biggest benefit of the paneled sites is that they remain open and with whatever you're doing while you flip tabs. I believe you can also close them, but the content will remain? I'll test after I post this - I don't want to accidentally find out I'm wrong š¤£ [EDIT: Confirmed, the content is stored even when you close the panel. You can right-click and "unload panel" if you want to fully close the containerized site]
You can watch Brodie's rundown on YouTube here
For anybody wondering, I'm running Arch and using SwayWM with waybar for the desktop environment. I use uLaunch in lieu of rofi/wofi, but I keep rofi running as a backup just in case.
