Just like how we used to be able to select "compact."

I understand that more and more people are using vertically oriented devices like phones and tablets, but there is still a huge market share of users on desktop devices, and with the market saturated by widescreen displays, taking up vertical space while having 4 inches of white space on the left and right side of practically every website makes no sense.

I switch between Firefox and Opera because I really enjoy the sidebar that Opera has as it makes much more efficient use of screen real estate.

Currently the Lepton CSS theme support compact view. By the way, I don't recommend using Opera because it was being bought by a Chinese company which had terrible privacy reputation and even its founder left this company. I recommend using vivaldi instead.

I would like to have a browser that works well for convergence. That means when on a small and low resolution display (IE display on phone) it has the phone style and when the phone is connected to a USB-C dock with a 32" 4K monitor it changes to the tabbed view that works well with such displays.

Currently I have the a Huawei Mate 10 Pro that when connected to a dock or USB-C monitor displays a different interface for the larger screen but Firefox displays the same interface as it does on the phone screen.

I also have a Librem5 which has a window layout that is mostly optimised for a large screen on a laptop or desktop even though it's not a particularly large or high resolution phone.
