> Based on our research, we found out that more than half of you have 4+ tabs open all the time, and some of you have more, a lot more. This is surprising. I rarely have over three tabs ever, and i usually like to keep it at one. If i really need to multitask that many things I'd prefer to open another window and either splitscreen or move it to a different workspace. I don't like the redesign. I think I'll be moving to brave or ungoogled-chromium despite my dislike for chromium dominance.

You find it surprising that people have more than 4 tabs?

  I have 38 open on my phone, but it’s more convenient than hunting in nested bookmark folders

You can set browser.proton.enabled to false in about:config to get rid of the new design. I agree that it is a downgrade, but I also think that it's important to keep Firefox around as a counterweight to Chromium.

I use tree style tabs because I regularly have 20+ tabs open. Android on my phone right now actually has the infinity symbol instead of a number of tabs open, I think it did that when I crossed 100

  Ditto .. tree style tabs revolutionised the way i tabulated :) That said, I wasn't completely happy with how TST sat alongside the default tab bar (and my use of pinned tabs) - thankfully its infinitely customisable so I put together a basic, timed custom style to clean things up a bit (with respect to my personal preferences!): https://gist.github.com/theprojectsomething/6813b2c27611be03e67c78d936b0f760 https://gist.github.com/theprojectsomething/6813b2c27611be03...

I have I think 70 tabs open right now. 10 tabs across, 3 rows visible, plus scroll bar. It's not about multitasking. I open every link in a new tab and generally close the tab once I've consumed that tab. For example, I opened both this article and the comments in new tabs at the same time. Generally I close down most tabs at the end of the day. I'm sure this redesign will again mess up my workflow.

I am in the same boat with you on the number of tabs, but I love the new redesign. I am not sure how this is enough of an issue for anybody to jump browsers.

Is the design really that different? I'd rather use Firefox and support the last independent browser.

> This is surprising. I rarely have over three tabs ever, and i usually like to keep it at one. Two weeks ago I had a major cleanup after I reached over 1800 open tabs(with few duplicates). A few years ago I though 100 tabs were excessive. Turns out they're just better bookmarks than actual bookmarks. Luckily Firefox can handle it without any issues or slowdowns.
