  Thanks for the recommendation. I need to organize my 100+ tabs.

    Tree Style Tab also lets you bookmark whole trees. I’m often jumping between different coding languages, or different areas of DevOps on a weekly basis, and tree bookmarks help. I can “file away” a bunch of research and load it all back later, and still have the tree! Very useful for context switching.

      Have you tried tab session manager? I was planning on testing it to check if it provides additional value…

        No I haven’t, but I’m intrigued!

        I have and it’s great.

        Also, unlike a lot of people I just delete vast swathes of my tabs from time to time.

        Let’s be honest, you didn’t need it and I didn’t need it.

        But I’m still gad I can go back to a random tab from a week ago from a session I had closed out of

      Tree style tabs on it’s own just sounds like it would be enabling my tab-hoarding tendencies. But bookmarking entire trees of tabs is too good to pass up.

      Though reloading the tree do only from sidebar (ctrl+b). Loading from bookmarks window is bugged, undoes trees upon loading.

    Use Vimium add-on and have a pop-up to search your open tab.

    Or if you prefer no add-ons or don’t know how to use Vim keybindings then type your search query in the search bar like this:

    % my tab title

  I’m not a fan of hoarding tabs, so with them being short lived I don’t see benefits in having a tree. But I do use sidebery + custom userChrome.css to have exclusively vertical tabs, which save quite some space when collapsed.

    If you work from home and you have go through a bunch of web resources, it’s really nice. Specifically any job over the phone, it’s almost mandatory. I love closing all the tabs at the end of the call, though.

    source

    • eager_eagle@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Don’t get me wrong, I work mostly from home and open thousands of tabs every day. But most don’t last longer than a few minutes, and if the flat hierarchy is not able to handle them, that’s a sign they should be cleaned up.

      On the other hand, trees encourage tab hoarding, which I personally loathe, but people have different preferences.

      source

      • Xanthrax@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Fair. For me, I’m actively working with the customer, and they can forget something at any moment, and you have to go back, so you have to keep them all open as reference until the end of the call. You do “prune” them as you go along though. I swear, though, the second close out that tab they’ll have a question for that exact tab you just closed out. You also can’t memorize things because they always change, you just have to get good at navigating the resources.

    You can still group better.

    source
• BearOfaTime@lemm.ee ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  Right?

  The ability to drag them into specific trees to keep them organized, and the also Tab Renamer so the top tab is named sensibly and you can find other tabs

    Most of my immediate team have switched to vertical tabs. It’s frustrating seeing someone with a couple hundred horizontal tabs trying to figure where that important page was.

    Edge does vertical tabs, but no nesting. Even that frees up a good amount of screen space.

    source

    • nogooduser@lemmy.world ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      It does one level of nesting with tab groups. Just drag one tab onto another to start.

  Just wanna jump in here an md mention sideberry as an alternativ, does the same thing, but better imo and has tons of customisation options

  source
• PeachMan@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  Combine that with their multi-account containers and you got yourself a stew, honey!

  source
• vividspecter@lemm.ee ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  I wish it was the default (or at least a built in option). It’s a bit annoying to still have to use workarounds to remove the default tab bar.

  source
• Aatube@kbin.social ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  internet explorer has a similar feature where tab background colors were different for each tree, though it doesn't have the tree view :p

  It's this on Firefox Android?

  source

  • Knusper@feddit.de ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Pretty sure, the whole sidebar concept doesn’t exist on Firefox Android, so very likely no…

    source
  • takeda@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Unfortunately no, but honestly I can’t imagine how it would work on such small and horizontal screen. Though I love that I can run uBO, Privacy Badger, TamperMonkey and CleanURLs.

    source

    • Neato@kbin.social ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      I mostly just want a tab grouping system like android chrome had.

      • kratoz29@lemm.ee ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        I’m looking for this too, we need a sane way to organize tabs on mobile.

        source
    • MonkderZweite@feddit.ch ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      I can’t imagine how it would work on such small and horizontal screen.

      The pages window but with draggable, treeable, tabs/pages.

      source
• kratoz29@lemm.ee ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  I could never get used to tab managers like these IF the tabs are still shown in the top of Firefox.

  Simple Tab Groups is something that I can get used to, because it works pretty similar as it does with Safari.

  source

  • bloopernova@programming.dev ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    There’s CSS you can apply that hide the tabs, but it’s not a straightforward process to apply it.

    I wonder if I could script it? Hmm. (I’ve written a developer environment setup script at work that I could add that to…)
