There are tons of addons but they are all weird. I currently have lots of pinned tabs and would like to move those to a sidebar.

Only the favicon, custom side adding, like on Brave.

Is there such a thing in Firefox?

Edit: no I dont want all Tabs on the side! Just a few pinned ones like in Brave

Damn! Very interesting, had no idea that was possible. But its very messy and also moves the bookmarks toolbar there.

I just tried it out and it’s purely cosmetic - basically just puts your bookmarks bar to the left hand side, but it’s not like rambox or opera or floorp. It just opens a new tab

You might be wanna check out Floorp web browser. A fork of Firefox which implements sidebars and other interesting elements. Plus it’s super fast!

Ok will see if I can copy those elements to normal Firefox. No way I am using some strange 3rd Party firefox mod XD

Floorp is not bad but I think it delays in receiving updates. I get “no ad blockers allowed” warnings on YouTube.

It’s based on ESR so it receives the security updates normally but features at a later stage.

And who still uses YouTube when there are alternatives like invidius and Piped??

In my experience, Firefox and forks are never super fast. Installed Floorp Lightning and the speed is the same as Firefox.

Floorp dev recently stated that workspaces are not going to be supported anymore/will be removed.

I use the integrated sidebar, that comes with Firefox for viewing my pinned tabs. But it can only do that in this case and I’m assuming the sidebar on brave and Vivaldi can do more?

There is a button next to your search and website bar. Next to the addons and stuff. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/use-firefox-sidebar-access-bookmarks-history-synced

Could you kindly tell me, so I don’t have to install the software?

And why Hans Gruber? :D

This for me has been a work changer:

Can open in tab or sidebar. Honestly, can’t recommend highly enough.

the UI could be improved (I always end up hovering for tooltips on controls) but it works really well.

I also like that tabs will stay in the stash by default on close, so its great for opening a bunch of reference sites really quickly without worrying about losing them

Closest thing to the old firefox experiment from a few years back.

i dislike horizontal tabs, so i go with sidebery / tree-style-tabs. also use a lot of pinned tabs and they sit on top of the list of tabs. this way i can have ~10 pinned tabs and still remember what all of these are.

You can’t get rid of the top tab batt though which is fucking bollocks. So all you can do is F11.

I always wondered what it means by user"Chrome".css

Why the name chrome(anything related to colours?)

Sidebery has a tutorial in the README. You can set it up that the tab bar automatically hides when the Sidebery bar is open.

+1 for Sidebery. It took me some time to get used to it, but now I can’t go back.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
