        Vivaldi is pretty cool… Although most features I don’t need. I have a hard time breaking up with Firefox.

        I was using Vivaldi as my living room TV PC browser because it was kind of a one stop shop.

        Eventually I found plugins and mods for Firefox that did only what I need.

        I’m well aware of what Vivaldi can do but I refuse to support Chromium’s monopoly. In fact, it’s the only reason why I use FF.

        Firefox is open source and not chromium tho. Using Chromium still helps Google push their standard as the web standard. Firefox and Safari are the only two pillars standing up against Chromium we have now.

    This will be good. When I switch to Firefox in 2019 Chrome had just added tab groups. No extension really replicated hope they felt.

    I want workspaces, ideally in a sidebar like in opera. Arc also does workspaces well but Firefox doesn’t have to go that far and have the tabs on the side too.

      You could check out Sidebery (Firefox addon) (A note: I use it with Floorp, a fork of Firefox built around user control. Floorp link)

      github

      addons.mozilla

      Ton of features and very nuanced customization (you can change pretty much all minutia of its UI, which is a huge plus over other stuff I used). Some noteworthy features I like:

      • Vertical tab bar with collapsible parent/child tabs

      • Tab Grouping, which seems to be functionally the same as workspaces

      • Unload or refresh tabs or groups en masse easily

      • Customizable new tab buttons. ie: you can have “new tab”, “new private (or other container) tab”, and “new lemmy.world tab” all at once.

      • Customizable movement of tabs to specific Tab Groups based on domain and/or container. ie: I have a “Media” tab group, and I set it up so any domain from youtube.com or dropout.tv automatically get moved from other tab groups over to “Media”

      There’s more, but those are the points that I find the most useful.

        Sideberry is great! I discovered it recently after quite a long time of not being satisfied with tree style tab.

        I appreciate that it works with Firefox sync.

        Btw thanks for the tip about media. That sounds really convenient.

    I’m glad they decided to bring back this feature. Really missed having it.

      Maybe you want to try the Tree Style Tabs or Sideberry extension.

        I just use power tabs. gives me vertical, grouping, search, sorting, and some rules behaviour you can do but I don’t use that last part.

      There are Extensions to do that if you want.

        They require a lot of tinkering for a half-arsed result. Built in vertical tabs like in Vivaldi or edge work and feel much better with just a single setting.

          There’s a fork of Firefox which have this feature in built known as Floorp which I personally use.

        it is, like with this one or various other themes.

        Difference with this one is that it doesn’t need an extension like Sidebery

    Default feature about 1% of userbase use, the seventh.

    I mean, why not just make it an addon?

    Thank Christ.

    Can they also be synced container tabs Mozilla? As in synced across devices. I know there’s a container tabs add on you can get, but it doesn’t sync from my laptop to my desktop to my phone. Would be awesome if they did so natively.

    While you’re at it, could you add tree style tabs natively in Firefox? Pretty please, with cream on top.

    This is something I’ve wanted on Firefox for a while. Glad to see it’s finally happening!

    Just bring normal tabs back to mobile, please. Tablet Firefox is the worst.

    I have been using the Simple Tab Group extension for quite a while now - imho it has been pretty great. Not sure if this announcement adds anything for me

        I assume the benefit would be a better performance, anything else? Simple tab group is pretty feature packed, I’d think FF own would take some time to reach that level.
