I uses TST exclusively and have removed the horizontal tab bar. I’ve had it like that so long, I forgot how to get the tab bar back the other day when I needed to do some debugging on something. Definitely don’t miss it, and the structure of TST makes it effectively a massive organised bookmark tree.
i have the same setup, in ff i can manage a window with 200+ tabs* no problem.
in chrome i feel stupid after the third tab.
* i have "auto discard tabs" to keep the ram from exploding.
Last time I saved my tabs, there were 840 :). I have about 8 pinned so they always load on start but the rest are discarded. I’ve never had an issue with ram but I do have plenty. I probably use between 30-100 depending on the jobs for the day (I’m a full time developer).
have removed the horizontal tab bar
How did you do that?
I don’t miss it. I use collapsible vertical tabs in Firefox with Sidebery + custom userChrome.css like this (the flickering only happens in the screen capture :/).
I’m using Sidebery too and love it. I want to modify the Sidebery CSS to make the container color indicators a bit thicker. It’s not in the doc though. I don’t suppose you’ve figured that out ?
Not sure this is what you want, but in the Sidebery settings, you can change the "button width/height" in Styles Editor > Navigation Strip to change the size of the container buttons.
Edit: ah these are panels. I don't really use containers, but you can override their indicator width with something like:
.Tab .ctx {
width: 10px;
}
in Sidebery's style editor
Can tabs collapse in Sideberry ?
I use Sidebery and being honest, since I get used to Sidebery I never used the horizontal tabs again.
Vertical tabs via extension and userchrome mods in Firefox sadly don't have the polish compared to MS Edge or Vivaldi.
It's fine, but I find it clashing with the browser history sidebar, and being tuned off by default in private tabs.
It can come close, but until (if ever) official support will be provided, It'll always feel like a bandaid fix to me.
For that reason I keep both vertical and horizontal tabs enabled. On other browsers with native support I never missed them, in Firefox however I need both. Relying on sidebar-powered vertical tabs alone is not a good User experience.
I've been using TST for many years now. One can read the title of the tab. It allows to have hundreds open, collapse them and keep them organised in a tree per topic (I can further organise them with Simple Tab .)
I cannot fathom how people just keep clicking on all open tabs, where the only thing they can see is the icon, to find the right one if they have more than 10 open because the title is no longer visible.
I switched to vertical tabs in every program that i could, and I think it might have actually made me a little more productive. Visual studio has an option for it, and I highly recommend using it if you use VS. I can have a bunch of different tabs open so that I can quickly reference them if needed.
nope, don't miss it at all after i got used to vertical
