  4. Don't post conspiracy theories
    Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources.

I’m trying to switch to Floorp right now from Firefox, where I have both the regular horizontal tabs, and a flat vertical list with the Tree Style Tab extension. I use the later a lot, and while I could keep this setup in Floorp, I like that the vertical tabs can be native instead of using TST. However, it just feels weird to not have horizontal tabs. I think I might miss seeing a bunch of my tab titles at a glance with it, but I have to use it more and see how I feel.

I don't miss it. I use collapsible vertical tabs in Firefox with Sidebery + custom userChrome.css like this (the flickering only happens in the screen capture :/).

side note - it works well for me, but I don't use tree-style tabs. Trees make tabbing over-complicated and encourage mindless "tab hoarding" IMO.

Same, I use Tab Center Reborn + the styling from Firefox Vertical Tabs for a simpler solution.

Why would I miss it? Never. Floorp is what firefox should have been by default.

[–] Carighan 1 points 1 year ago

No, not at all.

In fact I was really tempted to use Edge before I found a usable vertical tabs setup for Firefox. And now after over a year I cannot comprehend why vertical tabs on desktop (that is, wider than tall) format displays is not the default for all browsers.

I've been using vertical tabs on Firefox with a neat CSS style that makes it look part of the browser in a beautiful way. It was weird at first, especially because I kept dragging my cursor to the top of the browser, searching for the tabs but I eventually got the hang on going to the left. I find it great tbh, can't go back to horizontal now.
