Got this notification when I opened Chrome when coming back to my desk after lunch.

    Saw that, immediately reinstalled Firefox, saw the tab bar was still a mess and reuninstalled Firefox. Is there a non-chromium browser with a decent UI. Firefox is a disaster after 3 tabs.

      I am genuinely curious what is your issue with the tab bar? I got a long list of issues I have with FF (still my main browser anyways) but the tab bar is not one of them and I always have 20+ tabs open. Not saying your opinion is wrong, just trying to understand why you think so.

        Not OP but I really dislike the way Firefox handles multiple tabs. When there are too many tabs, Chrome would shrink the tabs to icon size, but Firefox insists on keep a weird minimum tab size and make you scroll the tabs awkwardly.

        I stopped using Firefox for a long time because of that, until I discovered Sidebery (vertical tabs).

          Besides just jumping ship to veritcal tabs, I’d be shocked if there wasn’t a user .css customization, settings option, or other small extension to get that in Firefox.

          Oh yea, that makes sense. The Chrome ones get super super small I think right? Has been a very long time since I last used it. I personally like it the was FF does it because I can more easily tell what tab is what, but I can totally see how it you would dislike that.

          Also good to know something like Sidebery exist.

          Thanks for your answer :)
