Laughs in Firefox
- After dragging my feet for years I finally moved back to Firefox a few weeks ago. Sure, there's a few features I miss from Chrome/Edge (vertical tabs, PWA support, tab groups, etc.) but I was able to 'fix' many issues with extensions and a custom userchrome.css, and trust is ultimately more important to me.
  I'm thankful there are still free, open, privacy respecting options out there.
  
  There are Tab Groups add-ons for Firefox. I’m sure there might be vertical tab add-ons, too.
  As someone who never went to Chrome, I’m just sitting here trying not to be all “I told you so!” from when Chrome started to really take off a decade ago.
  
  Tree Style Tab
  You can also edit the userChrome.css file to get rid of the top tabs.
