People who still use Chrome nowadays probably haven't heard of Firefox' tree style tabs plugin.

That's nice for those who use a lot of tabs, yes. But what I really appreciate is reader view (F9). What I long for is Chrome's page translation.

What plugin? What does it do?

Instead of tabs on the top of the window you get them along the side of the window which left you have about 10x more tabs open while still being able to read the names for all of them.

I have been using it for years and would never use a browser without it.

I'd love to know, I've never stopped using Firefox and idk what plugin they mean.

Probably this one [0], though I dislike the branding at the top of the sidebar and the fact that since FF lacks native support, you'll still have tabs on top of the window.

You can disable those tabs on the window, you just have to mess with the browser chrome's CSS yourself. Which is relatively easy, but basically the reason I haven't used it so far.

But now that you mention it - I'm going to give it a shot now.

Thanks! I was looking for the best snippet to hide it, and this one is a bit more specific than the one I was using. (Plus, it allowed me to hide the bar in full-screen.)

It used not to be like that but the last versions of Firefox have messed up pretty hard with it.
