I wish someone would create an Emacs buffer style browser where we could easily switch between tabs similar to how Emacs lets you switch buffers. I know you can do this in Emacs, but I just think for all the work people do to get tabs working nicely, maybe the way Emacs has done it actually works pretty well without overwhelming the screen with so much information all the time. That tree on the left would be better i…

Conkeror, perhaps?

What problem is this solving exactly?

It's solving the problem that Firefox has nuked the tree-style-tabs browser extension in FF57. It also highlights a good reason to write a separate browser as opposed to implementing it as an extension for one of the big player's browsers, because you can guarantee they'll break your extension within 3 years.

Will nuke. Firefox is at 55 currently.

Bubbles sound like a really great feature! I'll be waiting on a Mac version too so maybe this already exists - but it'd be awesome to be able to pin domains to bubbles so they always open in that bubble. Then Facebook can have their own bubble and can't see anything even if their scripts/buttons get through ublock.

The Firefox extension "Firefox Multi-Account Containers" by Mozilla has the exact features you mention. I've been using it ever since it was first released as a Firefox Test Pilot add-on and it's great! So awesome to be able to keep things segregated. Combined with the Tree Style Tabs and Tab Groups extensions, it's killer.

That said, Firefox 57 will kill the Tree Style Tabs and Tab Groups extensions, so hoping some browser like Doogie picks up those features and incorporates them into the browser core or at least as extensions.

I switched to Firefox (dev edition) a month or so ago almost completely becuase the TreeStyleTabs extension is better than anything for chrome.

I LOVE having nested tabs. It totally prevents me from getting lost when I'm links deep in technical documentation.

I love everything about this except that it's not done right now . This is excellent.

My thoughts exactly. I'm having a hard time getting Qt 5.9 to install thoroughly on CentOS 7, but if this works it will be worth it.

How so ? Don't the binary packages work ? (http://download.qt.io/official_releases/qt/5.9/5.9.1/)
