    I’ve been using sidebery for months now. It’s fantastic but definitely takes work to setup and hide the default tabs. As a software developer, I typically have over 100 tabs open in my browser at any given time so vertical tabs are basically a required feature for me. This is very good news that Firefox is finally supporting natively. I’ll be testing it out!

        It’s not as bad as it sounds. Firefox is actually pretty efficient with keeping the RAM usage low. I am running an M2 mbp with 32g but Firefox is definitely not the worst offender on my machine.

          Exactly! I have 860 tabs currently, browser is at 1.6GB. The tabs are not always loaded in memory, unless you have recently viewed them.

            Kinda funny how it plays out IMO. Browser updates require restarting the app. This unloads all tabs but preserves my having them “open”. Memory stays low and we can keep basically unlimited tabs open. It’s quite nice!
