#FirefoxNightly + #uBlockOrigin + #Sidebery + #Gesturefy + #UserJS = #Nirvana 💜

@jan Yep.
#Sidebery
#TreeStyleTab

@flaminghohners Um... huh? 🤷‍♀️

>even has a tab scrolling function

...just like #Firefox, once you enable it:

user_pref("toolkit.tabbox.switchByScrolling", true);

or alternatively use the excellent #AddOns #TreeStyleTab or #Sidebery

Fwiw, i use both browsers, since a long time. #Vivaldi has many superb *unique* attractions [eg, #TabTiling is wonderful], but scrollable tabs ain't one of them.

>wish there would be good vertical tab-list support.

There is... just not where you are. 🤭

Plus, Sidebery [also #TreeStyleTab AO] provides what Vivaldi does not... infinite nesting of tabs in tree hierarchies, which, once you've used it [as a heavy user of dozens of tabs at once, eg during project research] is "can't do without", so all other browser tabs management pales in comparison.

Just heard today for first time of newish alpha fork of #Firefox, called #PulseBrowser https://pulsebrowser.app, into one of my #Archie #VMs via #AUR , then played around with it.

Tis pretty interesting, albeit certainly not ready for my daily use yet, but otoh worthy of keeping a watch on with future developments. Already the Devs [afaik, two Strayan blokes doing this as a part-time hobby; stone the flamin' crows, they must be flat out like a lizard drinking, but onya!] have bettered native FF by building in native #VerticalTabs, in an optionally-collapsible sidebar [furthermore, very neatly, toggling vertical ON automatically hides native horizontal tabs, without needing the user to resort to css tricks like the various AOs do].

However, at this early development stage, these vertical tabs are not stackable, nestable or groupable, so i would need still to install the wonderful #Sidebery AO anyway, thus atm giving no advantage over my very nicely set up #FirefoxNightly.

Nonetheless, this fork is very worthy if the two blokes are able to keep up advancing its development. I wish all power to their arms!

#Mastodon #AdvancedWebInterface #LocalTimeline #FollowedHashtags #css

In my early months of Masto, last year, in my original #Instance, i personalised my Masto browser view to have five permanently visible columns, then used some #Stylus #css to adjust column widths, font sizes etc for comfy viewing in my browsers. The fifth column was the local timeline, which i used for casual reading during the times my Home column remained fairly "under-nourished".

One day, sometime last year, i learned from someone's helpful post that we could follow hashtags, something nowadays just blindingly obvious, but to me back then was utterly unknown. So i began doing so, adding more over time as needs & wants be.

A month or two ago, 'ish, i suddenly realised that nowadays i was spending ZERO time in that local timeline, given my Home column is always full as a goog, full up to dolly's wax, full to pussy's bow, et al 😜 Hence it was time to again edit my css, & my Masto interface, to revert to the four-column view.

TL;DR: following hashtags is fabulously handy!

Fwiw...

@fossesq I do appreciate your reply, & speed, teehee!

>performance

Prolly i'll not challenge this, as i find both FF & Chromium-based browsers "fast enough", such that the hair-splitting others do, bores me.

>aesthetics

Hmmm, this is ofc deeply personal, so no rebuttal from me. Each to their own, ofc.

>not having to manually hide top tabs

Fair comment, but having done it, it stays done, & tbh forgotten.

>seamless tab groups

Golly! #Sidebery is so excellent here, so i must disagree.

@fossesq Please, could you kindly expand:

>The vertical tabs alone are flawless and almost a decisive feature (and, no, you can’t quite achieve the same thing with Firefox extensions).

A few times, albeit briefly, i tested Edge in a VM, & found it utterly underwhelming [not to mention ofc its odious M$ stench]. My almost exclusive reason to test it was to compare its tabs management, in its vertical tab strip, to #Sidebery in my #FirefoxNightly. For my user-case, Edge was far behind Sidebery.

Not many days go by, as i do my ongoing #FirefoxNightly browserising [😜], that i don't feel in awe of, & with huge gratification for, the magnificent utility of one of my fav AddOns ... #Sidebery. I was a very longterm #Vivaldi user, but my discovery several years ago of #TreeStyleTab AO in FF, then more recently of Sidebery, caused me to do a couple of years of flipflopping between Vivaldi & FF. However, FF [specifically Nightly] eventually won, with Sidebery being a HUGE part of the reasoning.

@Graycot #FirefoxNightly, with my modded `user.js`, `userChrome.css`, `userContent.css`, & AOs:

#CanvasBlocker
#Containerise
#DarkReader
#Feedbro
#FirefoxTranslations
#Gesturefy
#Sidebery
#TileTabsWE
#ToDeepL
#uBlockOrigin

😀

The other major hurdle besides the updates is getting a non-crappy tree style tabs extension to run, ideally #Sidebery. Luckily the author seems open to porting, since they want to move to Manifest V3 anyway!

@axl696 Yes it's great, isn't it! Do you use TreeStyleTab / Sidebery Add-On/s btw? #treestyletab #sidebery

@thunderbird I wonder if #ChatGPT might be able to persuade the #firefox Devs to partner-up with the Sidebery Dev, or failing that the TST Dev, to fully incorporate one or t'other *natively* into FF? Notwithstanding all the many other nice features in FF, for me the absolute standout best-in-class winner is these AO's infinitely-nestable vertical tabs. With #sidebery / #treestyletab installed, for me #firefoxnightly is unassailable [& i've used *all* the others]. Baked-in natively, pls!

@sotolf Yes, I disabled the tab bar with userChrome.css and use #sidebery for tab management.
I switched to this about two months ago and am very happy with it!
It is still quite performant with my 200+ tabs as well 🫣

@sotolf I have a very similar configuration in #Firefox now using the #Sidebery extension and disabling the tab bar :firefoxnew:
So much more scrolling space and especially great on the ultrawide monitor I've been using for a while ↔️
