Even stack tabs by host is not unique with this extension is it? :) It's made for power users as I said, for example you can change the right click menu on the tab bar and have only things you care about in there instead of 1000 options. I bet there are other "unique" features, but that's not the point. If you are happy with chrome keep using it.

I don't use chrome (and I don't think anyone mentioned chrome in this comment thread about Vivaldi), I was just curious if Vivaldi was worth a try.

Sure, why not if you're curious and have a few mins to spare. It's free

What I really want is for my tab groups to sync across devices. I have to use a bunch of computers for various things (I have a half-dozen laptops tethered to their own VPNs) but they all exist for me to do work. News bulletin: it is impossible for me to segregate my work perfectly across 5 organizations. I can sync my tabs, but what I really need these days is a way to sync my tab groups.

I'm using tabmanager.io for this purpose, i.e. syncing windows as group of tabs. But I know similar features to this extension for tab-groups are currently being added.

have you tried using multi-account containers? it's perfectly suited for segregating different identities like work/bank/shopping/social/whatever all in the same browser instance. that plus temporary containers for "privateish" windows is awesome. I am not sure why that's not installed by default if it's not as it is really great. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/multi-account... https://addons.mozilla.…

I do use FF containers and its great, But for my use case I found it to consumer more memory as I don't need the websites open all the time and so pinned websites on different browsers were efficient for me.

Does Firefox not support multiple profiles anymore? I would have thought that this would be the natural solution, to have a different profile for each rather than a different browser.

It does, I used different browsers for memory reasons as I needed them only occasionally and not open all the time.
