Thank you so much for sharing! This is a game changer - I'd been using two separate windows and manually dragging things around like a noob.

Now you also probably see why many of us prefer Firefox. And: this might be hard to believe but it was much better before - extension wise.

  I switched to Firefox for Tree Style Tabs.

    I only stay with Firefox for tree style tabs. I think, the day chrome makes TST possible, is the day Firefox loses a large fraction of it's remaining power users.

      All except us who will cling as to not give Google a way to make ad blocking impossible. And for me it is actually not about the ads, it is about tracking power; about should decide what runs or not on my hardware. I'd recommend more people think like this. For me it is a small sacrifice for now at least.

      Is this meaningfully different from the Firefox implementation? I’m interested in trying. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tree-style-tab/oicakdoenlelpjnkoljnaakdofplkgnd https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tree-style-tab/oic...

Window-based task grouping (where that's possible) is ... somewhat tenable. It's not available on Android / Mobile, of course, but on any windowing desktop OS it's an option. Firefox + Tree Style Tabs is still worlds ahead of this.

  > Firefox + Tree Style Tabs is still worlds ahead of this. imho the pinacle of tab-ui was pre-quantum firefox with tabkitv2. tree style tabs is roughly on par with what opera delivered in the early 2000's or nowadays vivaldi.

    I was probably using that, when it was around. Good, and possibly better than today's TST, but still short of my goal(s). And that's without its instability (ISTR that crashing a fair bit.) I'd like to be able to: - Search tabs (by metadata). - Search tabs (by content). - Organise tabs by task / project. Including assigning open tabs to tasks, and possibly to multiple tasks. - A sense of utility vs. info tabs. (Pinned tabs ... sort of does this. Examples might be webmail, chat app, or tools like a dictionary or other data-lookup page.) - Arbitrarily grouping a set of tabs based on specifiable criteria, or UI-based multi-select. - Taking actions based on those groupings (close, combine under a single tree, bookmark, print, save, etc.) I'd have to think more on what sorts of things I'd be doing, but Web as Workflow is a major component of this. Current browser design seems entirely antithetical to this.
