  Anecdote: I tried that back in the Netcaptor days but it didn't really stick (or something like it, anyway). Having to read a long list isn't particularly fast for me, personally, so I just use a combination of multiple windows (one per context, and easy to switch between on Mac) and the search engines feature (where you can make custom keyword lookups for Wikipedia, Stackoverflow, etc.) to quickly look things up. Chrome also has collapsible tab groups and pinnable tabs now, but it's not particularly great. I never have more than 4 or 5 tabs open at a time, closing them as I'm done with them. If I need to recover them later they're always in the history. I'm sure Firefox and other browsers offer some power user features that's good for some folks. I just don't care enough. As a user I just want to see the information I need without tinkering with settings, and Chrome does that well. As a web dev I'd much rather focus on UX than cross browser compatibility, and the Blink/Webkit duopoly makes that possible in a way that standards never did (and still don't). So there's just no need for Firefox in my personal or work life. YMMV of course.

  Firefox is still hostile to vertical tabs, adding a useless sidebar header that can be hidden with css, but you have to know that and spend the possible hours it could take to figure out how. Then, since that's unsupported, you have to prepare for it to possibly be broken after every update.
