I really like @developer.chrome.com's vertical tabs, but it is currently way too tough to hover + rearrange tabs when the "x" for closing tabs is dead center @firefox.com does this much better imo

Thanks for the heads up and the link! (In the GitHub UI, I think you need to navigate to Settings > Copilot > Privacy > Disallow, I was looking for Privacy in the left nav)

Built another ChatGPT app, this time in React! Comes with many improvements from the @gadget.dev team: updated MCP, data multi-tenancy, a homegrown Vite plugin for HMR, and new tooling that lets me make auth'd requests without going through an (exceptionally slow) tool call youtu.be/Em4NRrx2ly8
