Is that not a thing in other browsers? I haven't used Chrome since 2010 maybe, but I still remember it being a thing back then?

Well not knowing that is expected from someone who is trying to use twitter tags on lemmy

They actually posted this to Mastodon... I think. Fediverse is weird.

It is in chrome, but implemented differently. Firefox actually does it better since you can save them as bookmarks

I think it's more intuitive in Chrome, but much more powerful in Firefox. Personally I didn't know that you could do this in Firefox until today
