If you exclusively use vertical tabs (either with CSS or another way), how is it? Did you miss horizontal tabs at all? (self.firefox)

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 uses TST exclusively and have removed the horizontal tab bar. I’ve had it like that so long, I forgot how to get the tab bar back the other day when I needed to do some debugging on something. Definitely don’t miss it, and the structure of TST makes it effectively a massive organised bookmark tree.

i have the same setup, in ff i can manage a window with 200+ tabs* no problem.

in chrome i feel stupid after the third tab.

* i have "auto discard tabs" to keep the ram from exploding.

Last time I saved my tabs, there were 840 :). I have about 8 pinned so they always load on start but the rest are discarded. I’ve never had an issue with ram but I do have plenty. I probably use between 30-100 depending on the jobs for the day (I’m a full time developer).

How did you do that?

There are instructions in the TST docs I think but a quick google turned this up too.
