I have tried, oh how I've tried. But the vertical tab options on Firefox are just not very good compared to the disappointingly elegant Edge implementation (with something either identical or very similar used by Brave). And, for me, with the sheer amount of work I do in a browser, the base interface is a huge concern.
I've been a fan since the Firebird days--which I wish they'd been able to stick with because the antisocial fox still irritates me in a very low-key, unserious way--but the browsing experience is not modern, and the extension-based solutions are ... functional. Every few months I check again to see if one of them has improved, and I try them, and I switch back quickly. Which leaves me feeling disappointed in myself, but there you go.
- gitaarik 3y agoVertical tabs are native in Edge? In any case, it has existed in Firefox for a long time before Edge even existed. But I guess you particularly like Edge's implementation. It does sound funny though that someone would prefer Edge because they browse a lot. Usually people use Edge because it's the default browser in Windows and they don't know any better.
- flkiwi 3y agoYes, they’re native in Edge and superior to any of the extension-based implementations in Firefox (and FF has no native vertical tabs). Floorp is a pretty good FF fork that has better vertical tabs, but they’re still not as clean and stable as Edge. Every word of that is painful to type but no less true.
