I wish firefox had better side tabs & workspaces like Arc does, it's the only feature that's keeping me on Arc.

I've tried Firefoxes nightly build with the new side tabs feature but couldn't figure it out as quickly as Arc's - it's so intuitive and I eventually gave up on tinkering with Firefoxes and got back to working in Arc...

the one feature i would love is the tab overview page from safari. i can't hardly stand browsing without it, but i try to use firefox as much as possible anyways.

> Those are the sorts of things that a browser, with access to all your web apps and browsing data, could begin to do on your behalf. And with AI tools like the new “Computer use” feature from Anthropic, that kind of thing is beginning to become automated and possible.

"simple" is probably not the word i would use.

Sidebery is the only way to do vertical tabs in FF. It’s really good.

I don’t remember what Safari’s looks like but didn’t FF add an overview page recently?
