They did a «pilot» experiment recently but apparently decided it’s not important enough. That code is available as another extension (don’t recall the name, perhaps tabcenter).

I like this, but I visualized it differently. I assumed the tree style tab bar could be placed horizontally and each tab could be a drop down tree from there. I'm not sure if that would even be possible but I'd prefer that arrangement. I rarely maximize my browser so horizontal space isn't just dead space for me.

I don't know how people live with the mental burden and clutter of dozens of tabs of things they'll (if they were honest with themselves) never get around to reading. It's like watching one of those TV shows about hoarding, where people live in a rabbit warren of junk they claim they'll use one day.
Reminds me of desktops cluttered with icons
If I have > 10 tabs open, I feel stressed because it means I'm not actually completing tasks. Anything more than this seems like ADD.
Has anybody tried the "Sidewise" Chrome extension: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/sidewise-tree-styl... Looks like it has tree style tabs, among other features.

Thank you for providing this detail, I used to use tree tabs before the webextensions fiasco but hadn't gone back to it yet as I wasn't aware it was possible to hide the existing tab bar. I'll definitely give it another shot now thanks to your help! The last time I tried TST, it was fairly hostile to my battery on macOS; is that still a problem? Sidebar tabs are a massive workflow upgrade, it surprises me that it's n…
If by "last time" you mean the pre-WebExtension version - yes, that version was rather CPU intensive and I used a different extension (no longer maintained post-WebExtension) back then. I haven't seen any negative performance impact as far as battery or CPU usage are concerned, but as usual YMMV.
Oh well, it was worth a shot, sidebar tabs are just so good when they're working well, but it's not worth the battery drain.
Your userChrome.css tweaks worked great!
I use Chrome for web development jobs sometimes and really miss the vertical tabs and hierarchy. Everything squinched together across the top just feels cumbersome and less manageable.

Tomato/tomato. I don’t understand how people browse the web with more than 4 or 5 tabs open at the same time.
I have about 400-500 open tabs spread between three browsers on three systems which I'm using simultaneously. At least on my phone, Firefox Focus has helped immensely.
I can't stand 10's of tabs let alone 100's!!

I just gave it another try. Unfortunately, things haven't improved. `about:performance` shows a "medium" energy impact for TST. My 2015 Macbook's fans come on and stay on until I disable TST again, after which they reliably spool back down after a short delay. While TST is enabled, Firefox shoots up the list of CPU users in Activity Monitor. Oh well, it was worth a shot, sidebar tabs are just so good when they're wor…
