Personally, Tree-style tabs (via Sideberry nowadays) is why I can't let go of Firefox. Seems some browsers have started adding vertical tabs, which is cool, but missing the holy tree structure still.

A browser that blocks ads, has tree-style tabs and is FOSS would be enough for me to switch, doesn't even have to have addons/extensions if those things are built-in.

I want to love sidebery but how do you stop seeing multiple tab strips, one down the side and one at the top. It's such a repeat/waste of space. Otherwise it has amazing features

    Easy, change the userChrome.css to this:

        $ cat ~/.mozilla/firefox/$profile.default/chrome/userChrome.css
    
        #main-window[tabsintitlebar="true"]:not([extradragspace="true"]) #TabsToolbar > .toolbar-items {
          opacity: 0;
          pointer-events: none;
        }
        #main-window:not([tabsintitlebar="true"]) #TabsToolbar {
            visibility: collapse !important;
        }
    
    Replace "$profile.default" in the path with your actual profile.

How resource intensive is this Sideberry? I'm still on Tree Style Tab, it looks kinda resource hungry to me, but I see Sideberry has even more functionality so I'm reluctant.

Any thoughts?

    Used to use Tree Style Tab too! But I think Sideberry is better in terms of feeling snappier, at least that's what I remember from moving from TST to Sideberry.

    Right now, I have ~110 tabs open, and the "Extensions" item in about:processes shows ~400MB used, but that's all extensions, ~10 in total, not just Sideberry. But to be honest, I'm not sure I'd notice performance issues until too late, as I'm sitting on quite a bit of RAM already.
