browsers did vertical tabs in the 90s and it flopped
There are extensions for that. Which are worse than they used to be because they didn’t provide APIs enabling to do that properly, about 10 fucking years after they dropped the old APIs. There are a lot of other feature requests from back then open, often even filed years before they went through with dropping the old APIs. The best way of doing custom keyboard shortcuts in Firefox is still injecting Javascript into each page, with all the shortcomings this has. Usability of Firefox is way worse nowadays than what it was 10 years ago - and I do understand (and agree) with the decision to dump the legacy APIs, but you can’t just break functionality lots of people use, and not provide APIs in over a decade to fix that.
I’m trying other browsers now and then, but every single one is a dumpster fire. At least the Firefox dumpster fire is a bit less out of control - but that’s the most positive thing I can say about it nowadays.
The problem with renewables is the fluctuation. So you need something you can quickly spin up or down to compensate. Now you can do that with nuclear reactors to some extent - but they barely break even at current energy prices, and they keep having the same high cost while idle.
So a combination of grid storage and power plants with low cost when idle (like water) is the way to go now.
