Turn off tabbed browsing: Chrome/Firefox - Is it possible?

Question

Is it possible somehow to revert back to the old browsing habits, i.e. no tabs in Chrome or Firefox?

I stumbled the web but I cannot find the answer to this question.

Solution 1

There's no native option in Chrome or Firefox to turn tabs off, but you can find Extensions or addons to have a workaround feature.

Hiding Tab Bar in Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/hide-tab-bar-with-one-tab/

A few quick searches didn't turn much up for chrome extensions that has something similar, but it's likely there is something out there.

Solution 2

If what you want is to hide the tab bar, you can do it with the TabMixPlus firefox add-on:

@terdon when I work I have at most 3 windows opened per desktop (I use Dexpot) and simply the tab bar is occupying too much space taken in the account the taskbar is nearly empty ;-)

So you want to disable the tab bar, not tabbed browsing?

@techie007 Yes, I have to admit my question is a duplicate.
