Boxed tabs? Remove horizontal tabs? Sidebar rather than window?

[nitt...@gmail.com]

Two comment-questions:

I have used tree style tabs in firefox forever now, and vastly, vastly prefer it to either of the options in Chrome. Unfortunately, firefox has lately been sucking, so I've switched to Chrome, so I must use these options.

(1) I like the boxed tabs, where each tab is in an outlined, clearly delineated box. This is FAR easier on the eyes. Is there any effort towards making this an option, or is it already available?

Firefox Tree-Style Tabs:

(2) I am very confused by the tree tabs being in a separate window. I greatly prefer it to be a permanent sidebar in the browser window itself. In Firefox's tree style tabs, you can adjust the size of the sidebar, and also make it expand and contract when you hover your mouse over it. Is this possible?

(3) On that note, I would like to use tree style tab and eliminate the horizontal tabs on top. They are very distracting. Is this possible?

Native sidebars is unfortunately not possible in Chrome.

There bunch of such feature requests in Chromium Issues database but all of them is declined.

So it even not worth to provide the links.

Same about the removing of original tab strip.

Note yet that actually Tabs Outliner is aimed not to replace it but to work together.

Original tab strip for example provide the possibility to multi select tabs.

And one click navigation.

Tabs Outliner is more an information manager. Not strickly Tabs Manager. At least the idea is so.

As for different look and feel - next version will allow to change the css for the main window.

So if somebody will do such skin it will be available. I have no plans to do this myself. There a lot of other important tasks. And the current skin is ok for me.

Vladyslav,

Thanks a lot, that clarifies things well.
It completely sucks that it has to be separate.

I personally would rather just have them be tabs, which has been even more possible in Firefox's version than the horizontal tabs. Perhaps it would make more sense if the sidebar can be integrated, but either way, I wish I had the option to get rid of the top level tabs.

As far as the skin - the clearly delineated tabs makes things far easier. It makes them more like tabs, and less like a list. I hope someone comes up with this soon.

By the way - some of the features are great, like that I can disable a tab and have it still be in the list. Good job on this overall, it's great.
