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.

    @waldyrious @Perhyte @cloudless I was a #TST user for many years, before discovering #Sidebery, so i do know how excellent TST is. IMO though, TST lost its way once the Dev chose to remove much core functionality from it, devolving it all instead to myriad companion AOs the user then also must install. As well, various functions some users wanted were explicitly ruled out by the Dev.

    Otoh the Sidebery Dev has been immensely receptive to new ideas, as well as feedback for improving existing features, + ALL the functionality of TST exists within Sidebery’s Settings without needing to have any companion AOs. There’s so much i like about Sidebery, but just to mention a mere handful of benefits over TST:

    • tab hover preview thumbnails
    • infinite separate Workspaces [called Tab Panels in Sidebery]
    • optional integration in the Sidebery Panel of Closed Tabs, Bookmarks, History [done better than in TST]
    • infinite Session backups & restores
    • really clever context menu options such that many commonplace tab operations can be done “one handed”… you really need to play with this to understand

    My reply is inadequate. Much better would be to install the AO, explore its rich Settings, & play with it all.

      @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! 😃
