So disappointing. I just transitioned my personal browsing from Arc to Zen Browser because it was the closest vertical tab experience I could find. Now I hope one of the other browsers will figure out and implement good drawer-based vertical tab UI.

Any Firefox-based browser can use "Tree style tabs" it's vertical tabs from the time before they were cool. Very customizable.

Sure but it's not the closest experience to Arc

If you right click on the tab bar on regular Firefox you can enable vertical tabs. I don't think they're as nice as Zen's vertical tabs but they're still pretty good

Floorp has literally been right there the whole time.

Floorp is even less trustworthy after that incident with part of the browser being closed source. Even if they undid it, the fact that they would try that is unacceptable.

not the person you replied to, but I wish someone had told me that rather than just downvoting me, that's helpful to know about and I only found out cause I came to try dig though the thread to see if there were clues as to why folks were so unhappy with my mentioning it 😅

Not everyone knows or keeps up with every blemish on a project's record

I don't use or care that much about vertical tabs, and it seems complicated how big if a deal this actually is, but florp might be worth taking a look at if you're not already familiar with it

I don't know a ton about it but I think it has a similar kind of niche and is more vertical tab focused
