    Nice to see it’s getting on with the times, it feels like they do a lot of heavy lifting behind the scenes, which is impressive, the web is a monster (math functions in CSS???), but user facing features have been kinda left in the dust for a long time now, like the highly requested vertical tabs, or desktop PWAs for instance.
    I hope they’ll make it more feature rich in the future, I still swear by it, but it’s a pity seeing all these other browsers with shiny new features I can’t ever use

      Isn’t there an addon for vertical tabs? I mean if you are power user enough to need vertical tabs you should be power user enough to install an addon.

        I do use them in fact, but it’s a little clunky and not as well integrated as it could be, just like the translations that they’re adding in, I’ve already installed the addon they released before, but nothing beats having essential features built-in following the same UX as the rest of the browser and having centralized, easy to search for settings.

        More like I can’t ever manage my own tabs so they keep piling up 😭

          Me too, and that’s why I don’t use vertical tabs! If I stacked all my tabs vertically, they’d surely topple over and injure someone really badly.

          For real though, I just couldn’t seem to get used to vertical tabs last time I tried them.

            Hahah, maybe that can work as an incentive to keep fewer then.

            But yeah, I find them very useful exactly because I have too many to comfortably see in the tob bar, this way I can treat them like some sort of file tree because at this point my tabs are a second bookmark list, with the bonus of child tabs for extra keeping track of how I got myself in a rabbit hole

          Hmm, to me sidebery with the v5 update literally feels like as if it was native, it takes the current theme of your firefox. With custom CSS I remove the top bar as well and it looks awesome.
