I disagree that Tree Style Tabs are awful. I use it every day and it's rock solid. Firefox forever, yo! Whitest guy ever tries to make an F gang sign with his

Long time TST user here. Yeah, it's actually very stable, even after the it became a WebExtension. Last year I've used Sideberry extensively. It has some nifty features that TST does not have. Do these two extensions look native to their host OS? Nope. I can live with that if don't need to use another closed source Chrome clone.

  Sideberry doesn't look native, but I use TST and it looks exactly like the Firefox tabbar

To each their own I guess! To be clear maybe the term « awful » was a bit harsh, I don’t want to shit on TST/Sidebery, I know the limitations they face on Firefox. I said it multiple times, but I’m mad that seeing the relative success of TST/Sidebery in their add on catalog, Mozilla didn’t invest anything in experience around vertical tabs, and tabs in general. Arc is fundamentally a big rethinking of what tabs should/could be in a browser.

> I disagree that Tree Style Tabs are awful. Curious, what display/screen size are you mostly using? I find TST quite hard to use on a Macbook / Laptop screen... it's much better on a bigger screen though, and best when using a second/separate display/window for it.

  4k screen, but run at the standard hidpi on macOS. I also use it on an m1 MacBook pro screen. My standard setup is 3 screens: portrait, landscape, landscape. I run the browser on either of the landscape screens depending on what I'm working on.

    Thanks, so when you use it on the Macbook, do you use a second screen for it also? I often use my iPad as a secondary screen to show the TST window when using my Macbook... but find it hard to use with only the Macbook screen. So curious how you'd do that / set it up when only using the Macbook screen.

      When only using the MacBook, I make use of ctrl-uparrow to switch between browser and VSCode. I have tree style tabs in the Firefox sidebar, not a separate window.

        Thanks for your feedback, i'll have to give TST in the Firefox sidebar another try... > "I make use of ctrl-uparrow to switch between browser and VSCode" I use the Contexts app (Fast Search) for that - https://contexts.co/ https://contexts.co/
