>>Firefox is literally the only major browser and I view that as a good thing, not a bad thing. Being a clone of "every other browser" is not desirable to me >and it shows hard in performance and in security vulnerabilities. I'm very excited to see Firefox finally catch up. I care less about performance and more about functionality. I can overcome performance with larger processors and more memory, I have 12 core system with 64GB of memory, FF is not hurting my system.

  It would except the user interface will be stripped so bare you can't actually have more than a dozen or so pages open at once! I know there are many people in the same position as me. They open a lot of tabs. When Google killed off vertical side tabs (which were only ever a hidden option you had to enable manually anyway), they went back to Firefox. And now Firefox is taking the vertical side tabs out in the street and shooting them too. If Firefox included vertical side tabs and committed to supporting many-tabbed browsing as it went pseudo-Chrome-mode, I imagine many fewer people would be irritated.

      You are offering an alternative that will be made obsolete by the same change: https://github.com/bwinton/TabCenter/issues/868 https://github.com/bwinton/TabCenter/issues/868

        > I don't know their final timeline, but I would be very surprised if the new APIs weren't available before we turned off old-style extensions, and I have already started working on a new branch that implements TabCenter as a WebExtension. Did you even read your own link past the first sentence?

      this link keeps posting this link 1. No that is not a Replacement for TreeStyle Tabs, far from it 2. It uses XUL as well and will be killed in 57 unless new API;s are made this link is not the solution to the Extensions problem we are complaining about
