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.

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.)

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

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.

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 would love it if Mozilla cast the AI trend aside

I feel you... :^(

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.
