It is essential to stop using Chrome. Under the pretense of saving users from third-party spyware, Google is creating an ecosystem in which Chrome itself is the spyware. (mastodon.world)

I'll take a look, thanks. I'm not thrilled with the idea of using a dozen extensions that could break or become incompatible, but I would prefer to get off of chrome!

For me it is only 5 extensions really which are essential. uBlock Origin, Dark reader, Sidebery & Gesturify & User agent switcher (it can come in handy every once in a while).

P.S. There is a little caveat to vertical tabs which i forgot. You have to follow an easy 5 step guide on how to hide horizontal tabs when sidebery is active.

Personally, I would have preferred the option to hide tabs in Firefox, versus what they're currently working on... A hidden sidebar that works on only three of America's biggest shopping websites. Even if they hadn't developed native vertical tabs to go along with it.

Im sorry, but dont know what you are refering to. Could you elaborate?

Understandable. Here's the release notes they didn't advertise:
