Hi! With all the stuff going on I want to switch to Firefox. I got incredibly used to the sidebar in Opera Though and really want something similar.

E.g. Having WhatsApp in the side tab and not in the header tabs (so I can't close it accidently) or different t workspaces for different projects has proven incredibly helpful. Also on opera I can open 2 Windows with the same workspace and get different tabs making it really useful for programming.

I've looked around for plugin like that but could only find one where the tabs were also shown on the side and the top.

If anyone could help me here that would be great, I am really on the fence of switching to way land and ff on my machine.

Thanks for the tip! I actually consider what you call an advantage a disadvantage and visa versa. I always have 2 opera windows open side to side (on i3) and like that they are not the same

Coincidentally i just now set up different profiles using this guide (srry windows based, i'm sure you can do similarly on other OS tho), so now i have both.

Makes two shortcuts that each point to their own profile and opens in their own instance with separate taskbar icons. Then you add panorama tab groups to it and there ya go ultimate tab potential : p
