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.

Checking in with > 200 tabs in sideberry

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.

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

Lemongrab@lemmy.one · 4 pts · 2y

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

Team Panorama nods politely in your direction.

Mozilla have confirmed that is in their plans

GravitySpoiled@lemmy.ml · 3 pts · 2y

You can hide it via css

Can anybody post some pictures?

Blisterexe@lemmy.zip · 44 pts · 2y (7 replies)

Looks like this, but its subject to change

communism@lemmy.ml · 10 pts · 2y (2 replies)

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

Blisterexe@lemmy.zip · 7 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Yes, but its a button, not on hover

mke@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 2y

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

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

Blisterexe@lemmy.zip · 3 pts · 2y (1 reply)

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

sturlabragason@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

Coolcoolcoolcoolcool….

Quintus@lemmy.ml · 1 pts · 2y

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

darkham@lemmy.ml · 8 pts · 2y

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 pts · 2y

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

bappity@lemmy.world · 15 pts · 2y (5 replies)

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 pts · 2y (1 reply)

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

bappity@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

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

darkham@lemmy.ml · 2 pts · 2y (2 replies)

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

bappity@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y (1 reply)

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

darkham@lemmy.ml · 2 pts · 2y

And I hope it will be a killing feature!

eager_eagle@lemmy.world · 13 pts · 2y (2 replies)

hard to say which tab is active

Cadeillac@lemmy.world · 12 pts · 2y

It's that one

GreatRam@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 2y

Centering also doesn't look great

eager_eagle@lemmy.world · 13 pts · 2y

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

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

Karmmah@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y (1 reply)

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 pts · 2y

I don't see the difference

Unmapped@lemmy.ml · 3 pts · 2y

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.

1050053@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

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