## Kitsmith's take

The open-source, community-maintained angle is real and checkable on GitHub — no company behind it, funded by sponsors and donations. Workspaces and Compact Mode are the headline features for anyone who wants Firefox’s engine with a more considered interface.

## Features

- **Workspaces:** Organize tabs into separate workspaces for different projects and switch between them.
- **Compact Mode:** Hides the tab bar until you need it, to reclaim screen space.
- **Split View:** View two tabs side by side in the same window.
