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.

Somehow I don't think my question equates to calling OP an idiot.

I use exclusively vertical tabs with a thin bar that doesn’t display page titles.

Can you seriously not understand why someone would do that?

Main page tabs are pinned on new windows. If I click a link inside one of those sites, it nests under the main page tab. Ex: one tab for lemmy is pinned to the sidebar. When I click an article link, it gets nested under the lemmy tab. In another tab I have an email box pinned. Clicking any links inside an email nests a new tab under the email tab.

I don’t need titles because I know what each tab is already. I have about 15 pages as persistent tabs in any new browser window. If things get complicated and I need a ton of tabs for one of those sites, I just drag the tab group out of the main browser so it becomes it’s own window.

I can see how that's useful if you often have that many tabs open at once. You could have just started with that instead of being unnecessarily rude.
