Implement tabs like in web browsers

[morfikov]

Is there a chance to implement tabs like the ones in web browsers? For instance, you have a list of channels, and you want to watch five videos. I would normally use the middle mouse button, and the vids would open in separate tabs. I can switch to individual tab and play its video.

Tabs would be nice, but I think multiple windows would be more useful, particularly for those who use workspaces and/or tiling WMs. Ideally having both would be nice.

Expect multiple windows as well.

• allow create new window by drag a tab out
• allow merge existing tabs to new or old window etc same as browser
• allow pin tabs to left or right from desired area (such features has on vivaldi browser)
• allow close tabs to right and left also selected random tabs
• allow bookmark random tabs easily and bookmark on different categories (check vivaldi)

You can already open a second window by using the middle mouse button. However not everything you do in the second window will be saved, due to issues with how the data is stored

@GilgusMaximus normally in the browser when i do that it will open the tab in the background and wont start playing until i go into that tab. At this moment when u open a tab in Freetube the window popup your main window and start playing. Is this something that could be changed? Atm it is kind of frustrating when im opening 3 tabs, they will all open on top of the main window and start playing automatically.

Maybe https://github.com/brrd/electron-tabs could work if someone here wants to work on it (some other stuff will need to be done most likely) 🙂

Edit: electron-tabs is a bit hacky so i dont think we'd want to use that. Tauri seems to have better support for tabs so if we switch to tauri then adding tab support will be much more likely to happen
