Do we have an ETA for this task to be published? I still use 2 browsers because this is a must to move all my work to the same browser I use personally

[sabgaby]

same. I am commenting to make more noise

@sabgaby @sebazelonka While we wait for this, I've created a browser extension: https://github.com/Benimautner/zen_organizer

Make sure to follow the installation instructions.

feel free to try it and open issues there. Probably won't have time for feature requests, though.

Air Traffic coming soon, excellent.

one can get this done using containerise or Multi-account containers extensions. What will the benefit of having this built into Zen itself provide?

Ummm the benefit would be not having to use an extension and jerry-rigging it?

While multi-account containers extensions can help users isolate data, space routers can help users automatically place pages into different containers.

Built on top of containers, space routing solves the scenario of how to quickly organize pages. This is extremely helpful for users working with multiple different accounts (company, client, personal) simultaneously, as it allows for the automatic placement of pages into the appropriate containers.

again - this is already present from the containerise and multi-account containers or maybe its part of what one can do with zen once either of these extensions is present.

Basically, in Zen, I associate a default container to each space. and then in the extension's settings, i can say "open this url in this container". When both these are configured, irrespective of which container I am in, for a url that's "stuck" to a container, it will open that space, and open a new tab in that container and show the page. Isn't that what ATC is about?

Again, the idea is to support it natively instead of relying on an extension. What is so hard for you to understand. Sure you can do it that way, maybe I don't want to use extensions. Do you even stop to consider that angle? Why are you arguing about this. Just move on, this isn't for you.

It would have been good if the description explained that part. No need to get worked up

No need to get worked up

You're the one that's somehow worked up over the community wanting a desirable new feature added...

Extensions are awesome, but there are things that extensions can't really do well, things like Little Arc couldn't be done with an extension because it would need native UI code to work well.

disagree - my tone has always been non-agressive. can't say the same to the other replies though. Please read the threads thoroughly.

Update : im not against having the native feature - just pointing out that its already possible with extensions.

My main conern is this: as Zen gets more features, it ends up diverging from FF. What are the long term plans to support Zen? Is that sustainable by a handful (single?) group of ppl as opposed to Mozilla Foundation?
