it would be five stars if it didnt totally eat up my ram, it actually burned and finished off two of my laptops.

when i finally could get a new computer i read up online what others experiences were, and yea many people had experienced the wild ram issues too, for which the creator had posted solutions.

so, i tried the "solutions". nope it didnt work, so i didnt wanna burn or harm my new computer and promptly uninstalled. not worth it.

it was truly excellent though for organizing stuff and for my audhd self, but it will very likely come at the cost of your hardware.

and yea it got gradually worse the more tabs i stashed. didnt matter if they were just in folders and "not running" because no yea they still did somehow.

really really really unfortunate!! i hope this is something that will work in the future.

giving a two because it really really was very nice organizing even if it cost me badly in the end...

downloader beware!!!!!


edit: nah fuck this, switching to one star so people more likely can even see the fuckery when they press reviews

If unnecessary complexity as a concept were condensed into code, it would be this obtuse add-on. People like it for the same reason they like VS Code, it has an ecosystem of easily bolted in plugins to geek out over but they aren't adding very much (honestly most should have just been options bolted into the original project) and if willing to use userchrome.js still (yes it can still easily be done, more easily than porting a *.uc.js script to an add-on with either manifest version. Looking beyond the first Google result will not cause you to develop a fatal illness so maybe try it sometime, Reddit hivemind drones!) the whole functionality of this flying spaghetti monster of code can be accomplished in less than 80 lines of JS. The Floorp fork of Firefox implements (and finally effectively fixed their implementation to be usable) this functionality, is not so garish by default (it naturally integrates into the browser style and needs no extra ugly CSS selectors specific to it, what a concept!) and doesn't turn into the hot mess of TST's bad implementation of tag nesting (God forbid you try to rearrange those tabs with a mouse without becoming enraged, tried on Linux and macOS, fickle and badly implemented trash on both ) and doesn't have the "Tree Style Tabs" pendejo banner at the top with the unnecessary close icon (if they don't want it in the sidebar, they probably will just remove the add-on altogether, duh).

I know the hivemind loves this extension and so I will get some virtue signaling indignant outrage for saying this extension is garbage so the brave outraging voice of the people can feel like part of the smart crowd for 5 nanoseconds... but its garbage.

I really don't understand.
Why does copying (alt+D+enter) a subtab create a new parent tab instead of creating it at the same level?
Please don't update. It gets worse with every update.

Problems in previous versions have been fixed.
Thank you for the quick feedback.
This add-on is one of the best add-ons for Firefox.

This is a really bad update.
The previously intuitive drag/tree creation method has become truly confusing.

01. In the past, if I dragged a tab and put it inside, it created a new subtree, but now I have to drag it on top or bottoem of the tab to create a new subtree. (It’s different every time. What are the rules?)
02. In some cases I can create a subtree of tabs, but in other cases I cannot create a subtree of tabs. It becomes really sensitive when dragging.
03. It is not possible to create a new tree by dragging a child tab that does not have child tabs.

(There's more, but that's all I remember...)

What is the reason for this update??
Instead, it has become really, really confusing.
It would be nice to roll back. At first I thought there was something wrong with Firefox.

The usual tree style tab is 5 stars.
But I'm giving it 1 star because of this update.

This extension has been great for a very long time. Easy 5 stars.

The latest update has made it borderline unusable though.
How do I create a new tree? It seems to be completely random, sometimes they just pop up. But dragging one tab onto another seems to be impossible.

In past times I even removed the builtin tab bar. Right now I am seriously considering to remove the addon until the situation is fixed.


EDIT: I have briefly seen, how it's supposed to work. That is all fine.
But there seem to be major bugs right now. Most of the time, like described above, it's not possible to drop a tab onto another tab to create a tree. Also there are super weird interactions between page content and tree pane.
I have disabled the extension for now. Hope to see it back in former glory soon.
