I've spent all night [tis my 05:30am atm] exploring & playing with <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Floorp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Floorp</span></a>, & there's two basic things now that i am having trouble believing:</p><p>1. How sensationally good it now is. 🎉 <br>2. How sensationally idiotic & naive my 20Sept toot was! 🤦♀️ </p><p>As both of you already inferred, Floorp at its current stage of development & sophistication is like some sweet love-child of <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Vivaldi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Vivaldi</span></a> & <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Firefox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Firefox</span></a>. It is so very admirable how much its Devs have achieved in such a comparatively brief time, albeit with a quite rapid release cadence. </p><p>I've configured it with <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Sideberry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Sideberry</span></a> on the LHS, its Vivaldi-esque Panel on the RHS [with multiple sites now added to it as Web Panels], all my same <a href="https://aus.social/tags/AddOns" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AddOns</span></a> from :firefox_nightly: installed & their respective data imported. It looks great & is working oh so very well! 💜 </p><p>I appreciate its cool Profiles Switcher button, Notes web panel, autohiding bookmarks bar, & intelligent base settings. I like it so much now that i have decided to make this my new default browser in lieu of my good ol' trooper <a href="https://aus.social/tags/FirefoxNightly" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FirefoxNightly</span></a>.</p><p>The only minor downer for me, so far, is that initially i had sought to ascertain if i didn't need <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Sidebery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Sidebery</span></a> in Floorp but rely instead on its native <a href="https://aus.social/tags/VerticalTabs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VerticalTabs</span></a> & <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Workspaces" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Workspaces</span></a>. Indeed these are both good, but after some hours of experimentation i decided to disable the <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Workspaces" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Workspaces</span></a> & vertical tabs, & instead install Sidebery with all my configs of it from Nightly. Why? = </p><p>- after many years of <a href="https://aus.social/tags/TreeStyleTab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TreeStyleTab</span></a> & then Sidebery in Nightly, my requirements of a putative native vertical tabs solution are many & high wrt features & functions, not only but certainly including infinite tab stack nesting. Afaict, Floorp's native vertical tabs are flattened not tree structure, & so without any tab stacking/grouping capability.</p><p>- also, i need tabs to be isolated on a per-Workspace basis, but afaict that's not possible with Floorp's native items [pls correct me if i'm wrong]. Changing workspaces still retained all the same tabs visible, which fundamentally contradicts the whole workspaces paradigm. </p><p>Nonetheless, upon reflection, even with the disappointment of needing to disable those two native features, i still concluded that migrating from Nightly to Floorp was advantageous, because of all the granular detailed Settings, the nice Profile button, the nice Panel, et al. </p><p>It seems to me that advanced users of both <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Firefox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Firefox</span></a> & <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Vivaldi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Vivaldi</span></a> really might want to have a serious look at Floorp.</p>
