The most requested Vertical Tabs will make an appearance in the upcoming Firefox. The feature can now be turned on in Nightly itself without the need to rely on third-party extensions or separate Nightly builds.

Is this just placing them vertically, nothing else?
I currently use the Tree Style Tab extension and really like how it handles sub-tabs and allows collapsing the tree nodes. If I can’t have that this is probably not directly useful to me unless extensions can add that functionality.
I guess I’ll be watching how this evolves though.
This is exactly what was expected.
After all, it’s called Vertical Tabs, not Nested Tree Tabs.
I guess that’s the idea. Most sidebar extensions need reworking with the new sidebar, but now addons wanting to add functionality to the tab strip no longer have to first also “invent” the whole vertical tab strip. They can just start from the existing one.
I’m in a similar boat. I use Sidebery which has groups of tabs (in addition to nesting them). Would really want something similar built in natively to organize all of them.
Yeah, I use TST with some CSS modifications to nearly eliminate the top bar and I like it a lot

I honestly hope they do not. The base implementation should be something utterly basic - I mean, quite literally the horizontal tab strip, but vertical. And then present an API for extending them, allowing consumers to bolt their own functionality on top as needed for their specific use case.
Don’t stuff the browser full of stuff only a tiny minority uses, tbh.
@msdropbear42@loma.ml @Perhyte@lemmy.world @cloudless@fedia.io as a long-time #TreeStyleTab user, I’ve seen many people mention that #Sidebery is better, more powerful, etc., but I keep missing out on what exactly are the killer features that make the difference for so many people to have this preference. I’m pretty happy with TST, and suspect that the main things I’m missing are small papercuts and UX tune ups, but maybe there are features I don’t know I need? Please enlighten me 😁

@msdropbear42@loma.ml @Perhyte@lemmy.world @cloudless@fedia.io thank you! The integrated history and bookmarks alone is already enticing enough. I’ll give it a try! 😃
