    Time to switch to Firefox as the base.

      Amen. I’m just waiting for them to screw everything up and I’ll follow along.

      t. Currently using Brave

          It really isn’t though. I also started using Firefox recently and I miss tab groups on mobile as well as on my PC. Yes, there is the simple tab groups add-on, but it just doesn’t compare.
          Brave is also easier to set up ad-blocking, because it comes with ad-block enabled and script-blocking two clicks away.

          Don’t get me wrong, I will continue to use FF, but Brave has some features, FF does not have (yet).

            Tab groups is the biggest thing I’m missing after I made the switch the other week. I’m used to having loads of tabs open, so not being able to easily minimize the ones I’m currently using is annoying to say the least.

            One plus is containers. Only opening Meta sites in their own container, same with Google/Youtube is pretty neat.

                Oh I hate bookmarks for that purpose, I already have too many as is. Found a way to make the tabs even smaller though, so not having a scroll bar for them will be very nice!

              Tab groups and container tabs are the two things I want. Tab groups I’m missing a lot. The extension is not available on mobile.

                Remembered one more thing; in Firefox I can only have 31 tabs open before the scroll bar appears. In Chrome it’s closer to 90-100! That’s kinda huge imo.

                    I did set the tabMinWidth first, but the result was… lackluster… to say the least (I like having ~50-100 tabs per window…). However, I JUST found out about userChrome.css before you wrote, and also found code that worked for it!

                    For anyone else interested:

                    Guide on creating the userChrome.css file: https://www.userchrome.org/how-create-userchrome-css.html

                    Code that should be added to the file: .tabbrowser-tab { min-width: 1em !important; clip-width: 1em !important; }

            I use firefox and I have ascended from a lifestyle of tab fiefdom. I only have a handful of tabs open at a time, no more than 5… hell, I have my browser closed 100% of the time unless I’m actively browsing. Couldn’t you just create a folder with bookmarks, then “open all” bookmarks to open a virtual “tab group”?

        No need to wait, Firefox is already a strong competitor (in terms of features, not market share). Adblock on Firefox mobile makes mobile sites so much easier to use.

          I don’t know how people navigate the internet without adblock on mobile. Each website is a nightmare with the majority of the screen being ads.
