I would like to have a browser with some long running tabs available at all time on all my workspaces -- is there an extension for that?

It's not a gnome extension, but you can use tdrop to implement this functionality. This a shell script that lets you make any program a drop down. Once you have the command you want to run, you can then add key bindings to gnome to toggle it.

Any idea if this supports Wayland, or just X?

Edit: Looks like it's only X

Something like this would do it. Looks unmaintained as of Gnome 41. It may or may not work with higher versions

This will definitely be a problem if you upgrade to 45, as all plugins will need to be updated to work.

That’s a real shame, because your question reignited my own search for the same thing

I don't know, but am commenting, to remember this in the future. I'm a total archaic beast. Please don't judge me.

There is an extension. It might be the guake one.

I remember finding it to use for the terminal but found out you can set up multiple apps. I tried it with firefox...

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
