The killer app for Firefox is it still allows some flexibility in tab management. Sidebery and TreeStyleTab have been my anchors in the FF ecosystem. The experience is so vastly superior for tab hoarders and tab-todo methodology that I really can't imagine using something else. I also use FF on android because it has ublock origin and dark reader addons. This make browsing the web on mobile far better. I actually hold little allegiance to FF as whole, I just haven't found any Chromium based browser that works as well for me.

The native vertical tabs in Edge are also pretty good. Not nearly as feature-rich, basically just vertical tabs with automatic unloading and tab groups; but in return it's incredibly stable and bug-free.


Is there a reason Chrome hasn't adopted this? Tabtree is the only reason I'm using FF (not that I'm unhappy with FF I just use Chrome for work cuz the devtools is better).


As a tab hoarder, I also

a) need "Auto Tab Discard" which sends unused tabs in the background to sleep, not consuming resources.

b) enjoy I can still use CSS to hack the tab bar for e.g. three scrollable rows


In regards to treestyletab did you get rid of the top tabs or do you have both on your screen. I feel like i lost quite a lot of real estate on smaller screens with both.


You can remove the top tab bar with some CSS.

Thank you ! that makes things much nicer !


I got rid of the top row.


I tried both but ultimately preferred Safari tab groups which is seamlessly integrated into the browser experience.
