I find this handy in Chrome occasionally. Just confirms that BeOS had the right windowing features all along.

Two more OS-level windowing features I'd like to see in browsers:

- OS X like Expose that shows a preview of all tabs for a window. That would help me find a tab visually.

- A command to override the meaning of fullscreen to take over the whole tab, rather than be truly fullscreen. That would let me use other window management features with maximum video size within the window.

I could've sworn firefox had an "all tabs" preview button that looked like 4 blocks in a grid, before the Australis era. Can't find any pictures/video footage of it in action however.

Best I could find is: https://www.askvg.com/how-to-enable-ie-like-quick-tabs-featu... But I'm not sure if this landed, or if it ended up functioning differently.

i could have sworn the same, at least as an extension.

i just found this extension, but that's brand new: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ff-tab-expos%...

Tab groups used to do that

Which windowing features are you referring to? I recall with BeOS (and I assume Haiku) you could shift-click on the "yellow window tab" to move it along the top of windows, so you could have multiple windows stacked, but with their tabs visible on the top, but I don't recall a split-view.
