No, you still need to "hack" the tabbar away on your own. Back then the claim seems to be security-reasons, so no malicious addon can replace the tabbar for you, and manipulate what you see. Which seems fairs, removing the tabbar on your own is not very complicated.
And Tree Style Tabs still works very well today, the early bugs are all fixed now. In the meanwhile there appeared also some other vertical tabbars/trees, but none are really on TSTs level, so not sure how popular they are. So over all, there is little reason for Mozilla to bring a vertical tabbar on their own, especially as they are still missing support for a second sidebar.
- beagle3 3y agoI switched from TST to sidebery because TST was unbearably slow (about 3 years ago). Did TST improve on this front?
- dmonitor 3y agoI can't imagine TST being any faster than it is for me
- beagle3 3y agoHow many tabs do you have open at the same time? I was at a few hundreds (with an auto-unload add on as well). I often get there while doing research on a new subject - open everything relevant as a tab, and slowly go through them. (Yes, it’s a horrible workflow, but I haven’t found one that works better for me, or even remotely as well)
- PurpleRamen 3y agoI don't know what's fast or slow is for you. But I can say in general I have no performance-problems with TST. I tested the new version of Sidebery, the last days, and performance-wise it seems around the same. Some difference is the animation-speed, which out of the box on TST is a bit slower than with Sidebery. But that's a configuration-detail.
- beagle3 3y agoFew hundred tabs on oldish hardware - it took about 100ms to open or close a tab without TST, and 1-5 seconds with TST.
