Just the hide tabbar button would be amazing when combined with the existing vertical tab extensions. I know you can use custom css to hide the tab bar (that's what I do), but the option would make it accessible to regular users too.
Sounds like that's in here:
"The test build shows the horizontal tab bar and the sidebar at the same time by default. A click on the new "hide tab strip" button hides the horizontal tab bar so that only the vertical sidebar remains."
Finally!! I've been waiting for this so I can officially ditch edge
I use edge at work, and it does vertical tabs better than Vivaldi. I really hope to see this feature in more desktop browsers.
Just install Tree Style Tabs?
Ok, now do tab groups natively
I just want my menu icons back.. 😿
I've been using "edge-style" vertical tabs (collapsed to icons by default, expanded with text on mouse hover) for the past 2-3y with a custom CSS. I think expanding on hover is the best trade off between readability and good use of space - I wish Firefox implements it some day.
Would be interesting at least. But I prefer the hidden compact mode (unlock in about:config) and have everything slim. This is too padded
So will this deprecate the Tree Style Tabs plugin?
Depends on your use case. TST doesn't just do vertical tabs, it shows a tree view of child tabs which might be useful if you need that.
Yup, its supposed to also speed things up as well.
Not bad, Fox.
@KarnaSubarna Great news! Next step is improving the menu, adding more options and Firefox will be usable again!
