I might finally be able to switch to FF! Yay!
It's already a feature available as an addon
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/simple-tab-groups/
Not even comparable
Respectfully, all the tab group addons suck unless they do it on the tab bar itself.
The UX sucks. Look at Vivaldi and Arc for good UX.
Maybe I never learned how to properly use grouping in Vivaldi, but I concluded that Simple tab groups extension is better for my use case. In Vivaldi it seemed too simple to accidentally open new tab in another group. With STG extension I am always locked in 1 group and do not even see tabs from other groups.
At that point, why wouldn't you just have separate windows. It's not that different in terms of usage except navigation.
Need to save those open tabs somewhere + I don't want 6 windows open if I have 6 categories.
It is not just one feature that makes the browser better. When you switch, you have to take the good with the bad.
Different people have different priorities.
This is absolutely THE feature that has kept me away from FF for a long, long time. I like most other stuff about it, but tab groups are a necessity for me. I exclusively use browsers with Tab Groups and Tab Stacking
