Tree Style Tab (Firefox Extension)

This extension lists your tabs in an additional vertical bar and displays tabs opened from another tab arranged as tree branches that can be folded away. You can also rearrange the tree at will.

This always brings be back to Firefox after trying other browsers. I don't understand how tab trees aren't a default feature in all browsers.

Chrome: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tree-style-tab/oic...

Opera: https://addons.opera.com/en/extensions/details/tree-tabs/

The latter I use myself (from time to time, when opening many tabs for aliexpress/etc research). Would like to know what’s different in firefox-based addon.

I've used the chrome one but it's not even close to the Firefox extension regarding usability. The tree-style view disappears when you do anything but interacting with it and you must confirm closing a tree which slows things down severely. It works but it's just not integrated as well on Chrome as on Firefox.

Thanks for pointing out the Opera one, I'll have a look at it :)
