Sidebar makes my Firefox pretty slow at startup and has a few bugs. I would love a native alternative with similar features. Namely I would really like vertical tabs that aren't a sidebar because I want to be able to use sidebars without hiding my tabs... But seems like this new implementation is also a sidebar.
Sidebery is fantastic, but I do feel like it's making things a bit slow. I might be prepared to give up on panels and nesting if I can get better performance. (And possibly the Tab Groups work can replace my use of panels.)
My main issue with a non-native solution is that you need use userchrome hacks to make the horizontal tabs bar disappear, which doesn't sync between installations. I use Firefox in multiple computers at the school I work at, so it isn't a viable solution.
Really looking forward to this once it's complete! I'm currently using ranmaru22's vertical tabs, but having something native that won't risk breaking with FF updates will be nice.

Does anyone have a screenshot of how it looks? I'm curious

I've gotten so used to Sideberry that I'm not likely to switch to the built-in vertical tabs once it gets released.

Maybe the native implementation is lighter, but yeah, I get it

The AI assistant stuff is currently an opt-in experiment.

To be clearer, at least for now, they're literally separate checkboxes. I have the sidebar on, AI off.
I feel you... :^(
