Firefox Sidebar Addon like Brave or Vivaldi?

I use Sidebery and am content with it so far.

I use Tree Style Tab for the sidebar and Simple Tab Groups to get workspaces. They work quite well together. Customize userChrome.css to get rid of the sidebar header and other things and you get something like this

I’m very non-adept with CSS. Any chance you could share the code you use to remove the header? Thanks either way!

Never mind, someone else linked something that worked for me.

Looks cool! But is there no option to have two sidebars and not just the bookmarks toolbar?

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.

Discover5164, 6 months ago

you totally can, via userChrome.css

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

Why the name chrome(anything related to colours?)

"The browser chrome" is the name historically given to the parts of the browser that are not the website. Then Google created a web browser and decided to name it after it - but userChrome.css existed before the browser Chrome did :)

Thanks

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.

This for me has been a work changer:

josh-berry.github.io/tab-stash/

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

+1

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 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?

Pantherina, 6 months ago

What? How do you enable that?

WallEx, 6 months ago

There is a button next to your search and website bar. Next to the addons and stuff. …mozilla.org/…/use-firefox-sidebar-access-bookmar…

Pantherina, 6 months ago

Thanks! Still not what I need. Way too big and again for all bookmarks, not only a few icons

cashews_best_nut, 6 months ago

A fuck ton more Hans Gruber. Check out Vivaldi. 👍

WallEx, 6 months ago

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

And why Hans Gruber? :D

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!

Pantherina, 6 months ago

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

sandayle, 6 months ago

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

WeAreAllOne, 6 months ago

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??

sandayle, 6 months ago

I didn’t know that. Thank you.

VITecNet, 6 months ago

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.

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