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.

[-] Yoruio@lemmy.ca 28 points 4 months ago

Checking in with > 200 tabs in sideberry

[-] Zagorath@aussie.zone 16 points 4 months ago

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.

I'm in this rubber room with you and I'd like my multi-row tabs back.

[-] devfuuu@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

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

[-] mosiacmango@lemm.ee 5 points 4 months ago

Team Panorama nods politely in your direction.

[-] Lemongrab@lemmy.one 4 points 4 months ago

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

[-] Blisterexe@lemmy.zip 5 points 4 months ago

Mozilla have confirmed that is in their plans

[-] GravitySpoiled@lemmy.ml 3 points 4 months ago

You can hide it via css

[-] Quintus@lemmy.ml 46 points 4 months ago

Can anybody post some pictures?

[-] Blisterexe@lemmy.zip 46 points 4 months ago

Looks like this, but its subject to change

[-] communism@lemmy.ml 13 points 4 months ago

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

[-] Blisterexe@lemmy.zip 8 points 4 months ago

Yes, but its a button, not on hover

[-] mke@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

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

[-] sturlabragason@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

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

[-] Blisterexe@lemmy.zip 3 points 4 months ago

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

[-] sturlabragason@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Coolcoolcoolcoolcool….

[-] Quintus@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 months ago

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

[-] darkham@lemmy.ml 8 points 4 months ago

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 points 4 months ago

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

[-] bappity@lemmy.world 15 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

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 points 4 months ago

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

[-] bappity@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

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

[-] darkham@lemmy.ml 2 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

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

[-] bappity@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

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

[-] darkham@lemmy.ml 2 points 4 months ago

And I hope it will be a killing feature!

[-] eager_eagle@lemmy.world 14 points 4 months ago

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

[-] eager_eagle@lemmy.world 14 points 4 months ago

hard to say which tab is active

[-] Cadeillac@lemmy.world 12 points 4 months ago

It's that one

[-] GreatRam@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago

Centering also doesn't look great

[-] KeenFlame@feddit.nu 8 points 4 months ago

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

[-] Karmmah@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

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 points 4 months ago

I don't see the difference

[-] Unmapped@lemmy.ml 3 points 4 months ago

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.

[-] Sam_Bass@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 months ago

Just got rid of samsungs version on my phone, aint even gonna dick around with that one

[-] 1050053@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

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