One thing I miss in Firefox is tab grouping. Yes there are 3rd party extensions that do that. But Chromium based browsers support that natively.

Sideberry is leaps and bounds better at it imo tho

[–] AVengefulAxolotl 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, this extension is crazy good. It works as if it was native.

[–] candyman337 6 points 9 months ago

Agreed, and it seems like Firefox has recently made an effort to accommodate the extension more, as it seems to run even better than it used to and is now a recommended extension

You haven't tried Vivaldi then. It has the best tab management features of any browser by leaps and bounds, it saddens me they chose Chromium over Gecko given that manifest v3 is coming.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I don’t like that Vivaldi can’t have multiple levels of grouping like you can in sideberry or tree style tabs

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

I guess that's the one feature Sideberry has over Vivaldi, but I've never missed it if I'm being honest. To each their own.

Oh hell yeah... Thank you friend. I immediately downloaded it, and it took me all of 30 seconds to realize this is it

This is what I've been looking for, for years now. I even took a crack at it myself several years ago, but then I realized it wasn't possible without doing an extension (rather than a plug-in) if I wanted to do it right

You have mitigated one of most inconvenient recurring problems in my life. I'm working on a lemmy app right now, and I'm so grateful I'm going to move up the "mark user as friend" feature.

How would you like me to guild your username so I might recognize you in the future? Lit up border? Tiny crown on your avatar? A little lemmy gold symbol next to the score? I'm open to suggestion

It gives me anxiety, it's way too overcrowded and cluttered. I use Tree Style Tab. It does one thing, it does it well, it doesn't overcomplicate it, it works with me.

[–] candyman337 2 points 9 months ago

I will say it took me some time to get used to it, but it also is a lot easier to use than it used to, they made a lot of things better in the last update

I think it's one of those things that you have to sit down and test out and really figure out. Tree style tabs are also good though. I definitely think it's where sideberry got their inspiration
