Without TreeStyleTabs à la Firefox [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tree-style-tab/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tree-style-ta...] I can't switch, it's indispensable when dealing with 100+ tabs (which I find myself doing a lot as crazy as it seems). Besides that the "AwesomeBar" in FF seems to work more effectively than Chrome's when digging up old pages I've visited. There're also a few extensions I'm probably forgetting, SessionManager comes to mind. I've given Chrome a more than fair shake, and still use it on a near daily basis, but I'll stick to FF on my own box.
- darklajid 14y agoSame here. Whatever the machine, be it netbook, thinkpad or dual screen desktop workhorse, I have more space horizontally than vertically. Tabs belong to the left. The added benefit of having a _tree_ of tabs (usually most of the nodes have HN as a root for me..) is something I wouldn't want to miss again, ever. And FF Beta on Android still beats Chrome in terms of usability for me (talking about both rendering speed and nifty things like addons). I open Chrome Canary every once in a while, out of curiosity. But day to day it's not for me.
- morsch 14y agoOne of the biggest benefits of a tree of tabs is that it makes it easy to get rid of a group of them. You can double click a root tab to collapse its tree -- that's super useful right there; when you then close the root tab, all the tabs in the tree are closed, too. Makes it incredibly quick and painless to clean up after a prolonged research session, which in turn encourages judiciously opening tabs during research.
