Chrome is absolutely unusable for the amount of windows I have open at a time and Firefox doesn't crash on me as much as it used to in order to warrant having every page take up a separate process.
Odd, that's the exact reason I switched from FF to Chrome. I generally have about 20-40 tabs open, and FF is terrible for me with more than just a few open, while Chrome flies along gracefully.
I wonder what the cause for the widely varying performance experiences is?
That damned plugin keep me in FF3, since tree style tabs are so goddamed ugly.
Edit: But looking at the page, it seems the developer posted an update yesterday promising an update in a week or two. yay!
that's always the most important information for me before i upgrade ff, so thank you!
For anyone else who had trouble tracking down modern instructions for this:
* Go to about:flags
* Enable Side tabs (first option)
* Restart Chrome
* Right-click on a tab and chose "Use side tabs"
I believe so, I've been using sidetabs since they were released in Canary one year+ ago and I've never figured out how to get it to work on my Mac
cd /Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS
mv "Google Chrome" "Google Chrome Binary"
echo '#!/bin/bash
exec "${0%/*}/Google Chrome Binary" -enable-vertical-tabs "$@"' > "Google Chrome"
chmod ugo+x "Google Chrome"
/Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome -enable-vertical-tabsEnable 'Tab Overview' if you have a Mac with a trackpad.
Three finger swipe down shows all of your tabs like expose.
Chrome also just doesn't work well for me for the amount of windows I usually have open at a time. 70+ at least.
