It looks a lot like the windows start menu. Which is pretty easy to use.
I have seen people get lost in the Start Menu, and beg to have all their apps in one giant list at the top level.
How does this compare to Tree Style Tab? I've been using TST for years and I don't want to downgrade.
It looks nicer (in my opinion at least, and I've only test it on Linux), more minimalist style. But it doesn't have the collapsable tree groups that TST has, just a standard list of tabs.
I've been using Tree Style Tabs[0] with Firefox for a long time. Being able to nest tabs and then collapse them is awesome. It is hard to live without it when using Chrome (I know there is a similar addon for Chrome[1], but it doesn't have the same feel since it just adds a new window off to the side and still has the tabs across the top).

+1 for Tree Style Tabs. This seems in the right direction, but it's not nearly as feature packed as TST. One thing with TST though, pinned tabs is broken :(

TST is pretty simple to use and extensible if you want more. What you did was... not really practical. Have you tried using TST for a few days? I promise you won't be able to go back to any other way of browsing.
For developers and other tech guys maybe. But the average, non tech savy users have a very hard time understanding hierarchies and therefore tree controls. It's to such a degree that UX specialists like Alan Cooper strongly suggests never using tree views unless the data is naturally thought of as a hierarchy, such as a family tree etc.
Oh, that sounds very much like BS. "non tech saavy" users have been using hierarchies in computers since before Windows 95 (considering people that used MS-DOS as 'tech saavy' users). DOS/Windows folders were presented in a structure; File Explorer presented stuff in a structure manner. Hell, the "my documents" folder was structured... and even Gnome (the epithome of doing simple interfaces) presents folders in a structure manner.
Where I really want side tabs is on my Android Nexus 7 tablet. On it in Chrome I normally browse the web in portrait mode and I can see the titles of about three tabs, but only a few words of each. With a slide out side panel on the left (activated by dragging left to right from off the screen onto the screen) I would be able to see the titles for 15 or so tabs, with larger press areas and close buttons. I realize fo…

...and reviews by others, and a process by which known bad extensions get taken down. It's not watertight (as the recent abuses in the chrome web store illustrate), but it's better than nothing.
AFAIK, Chrome extensions don't go through a review process. SmoothGestures was just one extension that got a new developer and then started submitting every visited url to their servers.
Looks ugly in windows. And show to on the right is not working. Waiting for a better version. :)
Agreed! My work was done on OSX, as a proof of concept. My colleague Hayden is doing some great work to carry it forward, including Windows support ( https://github.com/dhdemerson/VerticalTabs )
