It's never been a better time to switch to Firefox (www.androidpolice.com)

• Firefox offers better privacy and security than Chrome, with upcoming support for 200 new add-ons. • While Chrome dominates, Firefox gains ground with user-friendly browsing experience and open-source model. • Mozilla's focus on user privacy and transparency challenges Google's ad-centric approach, making Firefox a viable alternative.

I'm not a fan of hoarding tabs, so with them being short lived I don't see benefits in having a tree. But I do use sidebery + custom userChrome.css to have exclusively vertical tabs, which save quite some space when collapsed.

If you work from home and you have go through a bunch of web resources, it's really nice. Most of the time you're opening new tabs, instead of being in the same tab. That way you still have the old web page for reference.

Specifically any job over the phone, it's almost mandatory. I love closing all the tabs at the end of the call, though.

Don't get me wrong, I work mostly from home and open thousands of tabs every day. But most don't last longer than a few minutes, and if the flat hierarchy is not able to handle them, that's a sign they should be cleaned up.

On the other hand, trees encourage tab hoarding, which I personally loathe, but people have different preferences.

Fair. For me, I'm actively working with the customer, and they can forget something at any moment, and you have to go back, so you have to keep them all open as reference, until the end of the call. You do "prune" them as you go along though. I swear, though: the second you close out that tab they'll have a question for that exact tab you just closed out. You also can't memorize things because they always change, you just have to get good at navigating the resources. Maybe that's a bit niche.

You can still group better.
