The new Chrome tab group is not great, but it does help. One group for things that are being processed (handle asap), one group for "stuff to check", one for each project I'm working on and one for entertainment. All with short names and their own color, so it takes up a minimum of space. The remaining space is for temporary tabs. Larger temporary side quests get their own window and will be either closed or moved into a new group before closing the browser. It's still not as good as Firefox's nested Tree Style Tab once was (and might be again?) but I'm kind of locked into Chrome at this point. Bookmarks only work for tools and resources I need on a regular basis, and even then it's usually easier to just google them when they are needed. Who has the time to actually study all those bookmarks saved for later? Maybe some kind of organizational bookmark extension, that would help you go through it all, could help with this.

  If it's where your passwords and addons live, switching takes effort. Besides, what is the big advantage of Firefox? Chrome has 65% of the worldwide market share. Firefox does not even have 4 [1]. About half of the stuff I build will literally only ever run in Chrome anyway. [1] https://gs.statcounter.com/browser-market-share https://gs.statcounter.com/browser-market-share

    OK, you're one of those noble devs working hard to further entrench the Blink/WebKit monopoly situation. I'm sure its practical right now, but try not to be too short sighted. Sorry for the bitterness, but this infuriates me.

      Note: the Chrome-only stuff I mentioned runs in a sandbox environment and will not make any difference to the global market. Public projects will work just fine in FF. But of all the things I am actively fighting for, like decreasing the emission of greenhouse gases, preserving nature and the furthering of various struggling causes that will truly make a difference, I just can't be bothered to take on this fight as well. Good for you that you can afford to be furious about something like browser market share. For me that's nowhere near the top of my list. Maybe it will move up some day, but at this time I don't feel the need to raise a banner for it.
