>Firefox lost power-users There is no better vertical tab solution than FireFox + Sidebury. If you are using horizontal tabs, you are not a "power-user" of a browser.

>If you are using horizontal tabs, you are not a "power-user" of a browser. This is just such absurd, elitist, gatekeeping. WTF. How about just not have 400 tabs open? Am I really not a "power user" of my browser because I utilize the bookmark feature. Get over yourself man

  >How about just not have 400 tabs open? Because it allows me to access 400 tabs worth of information at a glance. I am not "gatekeeping," I just think that you aren't using the "power" of the browser if you have <10 tabs open and limited tab name space. What's your definition of browser "power user?" On my MBP, I have 10 windows (each with a title representing general category). In each, I have: up to 24 pinned tabs that take up three tab slots up to 30 regular tabs open that I can see without scrolling each of my tabs has 40 characters of name space, which is plenty to know exactly what the tab is I'm sorry if my post came off as acerbic. I will admit that I am annoyed as hell that: 1. Chrome has such market share when it doesn't have a descent vertical tab solution 2. Safari's vertical tabs are a total joke and Brave's are barely better 3. Firefox doesn't have native vertical tabs so I have to rely on an extension and they make it a total pain to get rid of the horizontal tabs

    Point 3 is why I don't use vertical tabs on Firefox. While I don't think that vertical tabs is a necessary feature, facilitating modifications to the UI via addons would be a huge win for anyone who wants to implement such features, or even experiment with different forms of user interaction.

I'll look at that, but I really have to recommend TreeStyleTab.

  Sidebury has trees too, but you can turn it off, which I do because I want 40 characters of tab name space for each tab.

Firefox + TabMixPlus. Multi-row scrollable dynamic width tabs. Even still works on newest Firefox, assuming you install a sketchy extension and disable signature checking. Thanks for your contribution, Firefox, I guess, though I can't help but notice that you spent the past decade trying your hardest to make this addon not work.
