What is the resistance to having it in at this point? Every browser has a cloud-backed page snapshot feature.
My own reason for disliking it was that it's a closed-source piece of an otherwise-FOSS browser. Hopefully this acquisition means a change for the better on that front.

You can have tabs on the side via an addon. Here: https://testpilot.firefox.com/experiments/tab-center

To be fair Thunderbird is awful. Every single time I try to find a better client I see someone suggesting "oh Thunderbird has gotten way better; give it a shot! I love it!" and every time I fall for it and it's the same slow, horrible application that I've tried again and again. I'm all for them killing it.

I was recently looking for desktop email clients and there is literally not a single free alternative? Cant be that awful if it's the only one.
