Does anyone have a screenshot of how it looks? I'm curious

This thread has some screenshots

I just downloaded it real quick, here it is in a fresh profile. The different color wikipedia tabs are different profiles to show how the color scheme works. It makes me wish it worked like the tree-style tabs add-on.

Wish the URL bar, etc would move up into the titlebar, that's kind of the whole point

The AI assistant stuff is currently an opt-in experiment.

To be clearer, at least for now, they're literally separate checkboxes. I have the sidebar on, AI off.

I would love it if Mozilla cast the AI trend aside

I feel you... :^(

It's another feature that intersects with the sidebar work but has to be enabled separately.

Sidebery is fantastic, but I do feel like it's making things a bit slow. I might be prepared to give up on panels and nesting if I can get better performance. (And possibly the Tab Groups work can replace my use of panels.)

[–] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 11 months ago

Sidebar makes my Firefox pretty slow at startup and has a few bugs. I would love a native alternative with similar features. Namely I would really like vertical tabs that aren't a sidebar because I want to be able to use sidebars without hiding my tabs... But seems like this new implementation is also a sidebar.

[–] fossphi@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

Maybe the native implementation is lighter, but yeah, I get it

[–] anguo@lemmy.ca 1 points 11 months ago

My main issue with a non-native solution is that you need use userchrome hacks to make the horizontal tabs bar disappear, which doesn't sync between installations. I use Firefox in multiple computers at the school I work at, so it isn't a viable solution.

[–] Paradoxvoid@aussie.zone 2 points 11 months ago

Really looking forward to this once it's complete! I'm currently using ranmaru22's vertical tabs, but having something native that won't risk breaking with FF updates will be nice.
