Hi! With all the stuff going on I want to switch to Firefox. I got incredibly used to the sidebar in Opera Though and really want something similar.

E.g. Having WhatsApp in the side tab and not in the header tabs (so I can’t close it accidently) or different t workspaces for different projects has proven incredibly helpful. Also on opera I can open 2 Windows with the same workspace and get different tabs making it really useful for programming.

I’ve looked around for plugin like that but could only find one where the tabs were also shown on the side and the top.

If anyone could help me here that would be great, I am really on the fence of switching to way land and ff on my machine.

    having switched from opera gx to firefox, Panorama-tab-groups did the trick. Combined with https://github.com/Godiesc/firefox-gx and it’s extra addons.

    One improvement i discovered was that no matter the window the tabs are accessible. Opposed to opera where each groups’ tabs were tied to it’s window, and you couldnt open the tabs from one windows into the other by clicking on the tab group.

      Thanks for the tip! I actually consider what you call an advantage a disadvantage and visa versa. I always have 2 opera windows open side to side (on i3) and like that they are not the same
