Yeah! It's finally here! Okay it's not sexy as some extensions already available but it's a good move!

I personally don't see a value until we can get rid of the title bar and gain some vertical space.

I say this as a sane person who maintains under 10 tabs at all times but I do acknowledge that most of you are lunatics when it comes to browser tabs.

[-] Yoruio@lemmy.ca 28 points 11 months ago

Checking in with > 200 tabs in sideberry

[-] Zagorath@aussie.zone 16 points 11 months ago

On my desktop I've currently got 4 windows with 101, 103, 17, and 191 tabs. Think it's about 60 on my phone, and currently only about 30 on my tablet.

I'm in this rubber room with you and I'd like my multi-row tabs back.

[-] devfuuu@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

Now this is a much more reasonable default. Like me. I managed to close a bunch of tabs and a window this week.

[-] mosiacmango@lemm.ee 5 points 11 months ago

Team Panorama nods politely in your direction.

[-] Lemongrab@lemmy.one 4 points 11 months ago

I close all my tabs many times a day. Probably would be about 50-150+ a day if I didn't tho lol

[-] Blisterexe@lemmy.zip 5 points 11 months ago

Mozilla have confirmed that is in their plans

[-] GravitySpoiled@lemmy.ml 3 points 11 months ago

You can hide it via css

[-] Quintus@lemmy.ml 48 points 11 months ago

Can anybody post some pictures?

[-] Blisterexe@lemmy.zip 47 points 11 months ago

Looks like this, but its subject to change

[-] communism@lemmy.ml 13 points 11 months ago

Is there an option to expand the vertical tabs so that they say the page title?

[-] Blisterexe@lemmy.zip 6 points 11 months ago

Yes, but its a button, not on hover

[-] mke@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

I've already seen people suggesting "expand on hover" to Mozilla, on Connect, I think. Hoping they consider it, later on.

[-] sturlabragason@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Is that Gnome with a DK/SE/NO locale?

[-] Blisterexe@lemmy.zip 3 points 11 months ago

Idk, its not my image, although ive used the feature

[-] sturlabragason@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Coolcoolcoolcoolcool….

[-] Quintus@lemmy.ml 1 points 11 months ago

I think it looks elegant. Nice. I will keep using CTRL + [insert number here], though.

[-] darkham@lemmy.ml 9 points 11 months ago

It's native and in work, I hope they will do something like sidetabs (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/sidetabs/)

[-] Luci@lemmy.ca 16 points 11 months ago

OMG finally! Now I don't need a bunch of addons that always break to do this!!

[-] bappity@lemmy.world 15 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

I think the ultimate form of Firefox vertical tabs is sideberry

when they natively have all or most of the features that sideberry has, they would have mastered it

[-] sanpo@sopuli.xyz 8 points 11 months ago

Sideberry really is amazing. So good I could never switch to another browser if it meant abandoning it.

[-] bappity@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

it enables me leaving open a billion tabs because they're so easy to switch between and organise with it 😭😭😭

[-] darkham@lemmy.ml 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Never see anything on this one I think... Or don't remember. I was using sidetabs.

[-] bappity@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

highly recommend checking it out! it's very feature rich!

[-] darkham@lemmy.ml 2 points 11 months ago

And I hope it will be a killing feature!

[-] eager_eagle@lemmy.world 14 points 11 months ago

hard to say which tab is active

[-] Cadeillac@lemmy.world 12 points 11 months ago

It's that one

[-] GreatRam@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

Centering also doesn't look great

[-] eager_eagle@lemmy.world 14 points 11 months ago

unfortunately it doesn't expand the tab names on hover; I find something like this more useful:

[-] KeenFlame@feddit.nu 9 points 11 months ago

Sorry, but I already super enjoy tree style tabs, even though it was kind of a mess to configure

[-] Karmmah@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

The addon Tree style tabs itself shouldn't have been the problem, or was it? It's hiding the default tabs what's not a smooth process for me.

[-] KeenFlame@feddit.nu 1 points 11 months ago

I don't see the difference

[-] Unmapped@lemmy.ml 3 points 11 months ago

Finally. I've been so excited for this. I have managed to never try any of the extensions so I won't be disappointed lol.

[-] Sam_Bass@lemmy.ml 1 points 11 months ago

Just got rid of samsungs version on my phone, aint even gonna dick around with that one

[-] 1050053@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Make it look and feel like Arc browser and I'll gladly switch.
