> If I only care about the vertical tabs, workspaces, and a (decent) mobile app are there any good equivalents right now?

I use Firefox mostly because of Sideberry (which does vertical tree-style tabs) which also integrates with "containers", so you can have something similar to workspaces but more isolation. Otherwise there is also "profiles" that probably offer even more isolation between the different profiles.

Firefox with extensions? The current vertical tabs extensions are not nearly as nice, but Mozilla is working on native vertical tabs. Syncing and Workspaces are already better with Firefox then with Arc.

I just use Brave with a shitton of profiles. That does cause problems for mobile use since no Android browser dev has bothered with proper profiles or ability to install multiple copies of the browser, except for Google I guess.

I use Firefox with Sidebery for vertical (specifically, tree style) tabs, plus a userChrome.css to hide the native horizontal tabs. Firefox has mobile apps, and the Android app supports (some) browser extensions.

It works, it's boring, and it doesn't try to shove gimmicky features in my face.

Even in Safari, you can remove tabs from toolbar (but it is not possible to hide toolbar itself) and have them in sidebar - there are also tab groups.

But experience is probably different.
