For a while now, performance has not been an issue for me to not use Firefox. It's the no support for the multiline tabs and/or tab groups. Both features which were previously possible in Firefox. This is pretty much a blocker for me and they don't seem to have any plan to fix this.

Tree style tabs (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tree-style-tab/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tree-style-ta...) work just fine. You get the grouping there.

  I have pretty much used all possible Firefox addons for this. No it is not fine. Using vertical tab navigation was painful and slowed me down.

What browser do you use instead that does support those?

  Used following work around for few years: https://wrw.is/multiple-tab-rows-in-firefox/ https://wrw.is/multiple-tab-rows-in-firefox/ Then finally gave up Firefox (after using for 15+ years) when Chrome released tab groups. Use above workaround to believe me that I tried before giving up.

Are there reasons that the "Simple Tab Groups" extension isn't suitable for you? It seems to be well-maintained, cleverly uses Firefox's "hide tabs" API to keep a single window behind-the-scenes, and has integration with lots of other features like Firefox's containers. I think it's an indirect descendent of the old Tab Groups extension when it was spun out of Firefox. https://github.com/drive4ik/simple-tab-groups https://github.com/drive4ik/simple-tab-groups

  It doesn't scale. Also we intuitively identify a tab by its location in our browser. Opening a different window and then locating that tab there is slow.

> multiline tabs Curious why you'd want this?

  After few dozen tabs the tab width becomes so small that it is difficult to click on them or figure out which tab is which. Multiline helps in maintaining the tab width.

Using Vivaldi for few weeks now. Seems snappier and have nested tab and tab groups natively.
