So did you just come to this site to argue? There is no point to writing almost a paragraph of information if you’re just going to complain.

Actually, I found the comments to which you refer quite helpful … I want to know if I need this add-on or there are others that work the same/better/use less resources, etc. There are way too many to just be adding them all.

Sorry.

Maybe, but the only way you would benefit from having them along the side would be if you always have a bunch of them open. Otherwise it is really more conservative to have them along the top. And I’m guessing that most people don’t open more than a few tabs at a time.

I predict that sooner or later tabs will be vertical by default. With all the new flat screens, which only grow sideways (my 19″ CRT is taller than a 24″ LCD), it’s the only place to put them.

The group mode is cool, too. It’s funny to see the tree of a wikipedia session ;-).

I actually use “Tree Style Tabs” (and “TabMixPlus”), which does similar things. Just got used to it before this extension. But I’m glad to know that there’s a “backup” solution.

So to everyone, who is spending significant time on the internet and who hasn’t tried vertical tabs, try one of these extensions (there’s also “vertigo” for pure vertical tabs without group functions)

[...] Windows/Mac/Linux (Firefox): Organize your tabs by domain or origin, manage their layout, and more with the powerful Tab Kit Firefox extension. As you can see in the video from CyberNet, Tab Kit’s most notable features incorporate advanced tab bar positioning (including a widescreen-optimized left or right-aligned tab bar) and tab grouping and collapsing based on either the domain (e.g., all lifehacker.com tabs will be grouped together) or by origin (e.g., all tabs you open from Lifehacker, whether on or off-site, will be grouped together). This extension is currently available in the Mozilla Sandbox, which means you have to log into the site to download it (ahem, *BugMeNot*), and the developer seems unclear as to how well it works with Macs.

I apologize for saying this. Note to self: there is no point in coming to this website if I’m going to complain about how someone/-thing is complaining. Please forgive me.

@DKong: I understand your points, but what about being able to collapse down tabs? That’s one of its features that I love the best. And sure there are other extensions that do the same thing, but why would I install three different extensions when one takes care of them all?

Chroma tabs can already color tabs based on domain OR favicon…so that moots that perk of this.

Tab Mix (or at least something else) already does the multi row thing- besides, who wants to make the tab bar waste extra browser space?

Vertigo or a simple chrome hack can give you vertical tabs.

And the parent tab thing is kinda worthless to me, since it just doesn’t matter to me where tabs came from.

I’ll pass, sorry.

More of along side Tab Mix Plus. It doesn’t do many of the things that Tab Mix Plus can, but I don’t use Tab Mix Plus myself.

Is it meant to work alongside or replace tab mix plus?
