The moment Firefox gets native vertical tabs with drag and drop grouping, I’m making the switch. But, as it stands, the vertical tabs in Edge are irreplaceable and not a single of the “workarounds” to make them possible in Firefox feel good at all.

I need drag and drop tab grouping and vertical tabs. That’s it.

Edge also just introduced workspaces which feels like something I’m going to love once I get the time to mess with them.

I want to leave Edge because I want to be done with Chromium in general, but Firefox feels too behind the times for me.

What do you like about vertical tabs?

  Not the person you responded to, but more tabs visible at once & being able to group them as a tree is incredibly useful.
  
  The grouping as tree thing happens automatically in sidebery (extension for firefox). When you have a tab open, any link you click will be added as a child node to the current tab. If you’re doing research, or just don’t want to lose your focus, it is immensely helpful.
  
  Brave supports vertical tabs but doesn’t do the tree thing. Not useful at all compared to sidebery tbh. I don’t know how Edge works in that regard though.

  In addition to what others have said, I prefer more vertical space for webpages. Vertical tabs take up much less space and are, in my opinion, much easier to organize. I also don’t need to see the title bar constant and the favicon is plenty for me to keep track of what’s there.
  
  Grouping helps me keep ideas together. I don’t like to bookmark things I’m only going to need for a few hours/days, so grouping tabs helps me keep them open without them getting in the way.

  I’m assuming the people who use tabs as bookmarks

Why does it need to be native? There are numerous extensions that do this. That’s half the point of Firefox, it’s so extensible.

I need me some tab grouping (especially on mobile). I switched to FF and that’s the only thing I miss

Sounds like what you need is Floorp, it’s a Firefox fork with all of this built in.
