Thanks. The tab handling is the only reason I still use chrome.

Chrome has tab on the side now?

No, but I like the way it handles tabs much better than firefox and last time I looked into it, it was pretty cumbersome to customize firefox this way. Plus it has to be done on every machine.

This extension is even better IMO. And so far I'm enjoying having better tab handling and a much faster browser.

a feature that I've loved about Vivaldi (and vimium on chrome) is the spotlight like search for tabs. When you run a lot (~30-40) of tabs, that's an killer feature right away!

Aside from the fact that the regular URL bar in Firefox does this, Tab Center ( https://github.com/bwinton/TabCenter ) puts tabs on the side with a filter-search at the top.

With that filter I wonder if we could combine tabs and bookmarks?

Built 50.0 with cairo-gtk2 backend using it right now but something different with the font rendering in 50.0. For instance there's a weird washed-out effect of the text in this very same text control I'm writing the comment in which comes and goes with the amount of text changing/wrapping etc.

Can you post a screenshot?

Sorry I can't because it's something that happens and doesn't stay. If you run Firefox 50 on Arch Linux, you will see what I mean.

I don't understand how can one browse internet with tab not on the side :|

I think I figured it out. Somehow Skia was enabled in Firefox and resetting that seems to have fixed the rendering bug. Given that 51 will turn Skia on by default I hope this will be fixed before the switch.
