Now just do native vertical tabs and I'll have 0 problems with FF

I’d settle for being able to turn off the unreasonably huge pane header that comes with extensions that implement vertical tabs via the sidebar.

Yes it can be hidden with userchrome mods, but it shouldn’t be necessary to resort to that, plus we don’t know how long userchrome mods will continue to work…

It took me a decent amount of work to finally get my sidebery visually config’d in a way that I found acceptable. I haven’t worked that hard on setting up an extension in a long time!

How does this compare to Apple Private Relay?

I was thinking exactly the same…

Apple private relay uses Fastly as one of the providers so I wouldn't be surprised if this is implemented the same way.

Mozilla and The Tor Project have been collaborating for years. Mozilla does not have the backbone to implement Tor Browser as Private Browser mode in Firefox. Do better, Mozilla.

Native would be great, but for my use case the Tab Center Reborn extension for Firefox is the best implementation of vertical tabs I've used on any browser, native or otherwise. There's other extensions like Sidebery and Tree Style Tabs, but I haven't really tried them.
