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

[-] krash@lemmy.ml 5 points 7 months ago

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?

[-] raptore39@lemm.ee 9 points 7 months ago

Ok, now do tab groups natively

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

[-] delirious_owl@discuss.online 2 points 7 months ago

So will this deprecate the Tree Style Tabs plugin?

[-] Flaky@iusearchlinux.fyi 3 points 7 months ago

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.

[-] hal_5700X@sh.itjust.works 2 points 7 months ago

Not bad, Fox.

@KarnaSubarna Great news! Next step is improving the menu, adding more options and Firefox will be usable again!
