Opera 'Tab Islands' feature - is there Firefox equivalent? (fedia.io)

Opera's new 'Tab Islands' feature is very cool and I've wished for such a feature in FF.

Briefly, "When opening new tabs from a webpage, those tabs are automatically grouped together into an island."

I happen to be one of those bozo users with hundreds of tabs open all the time and I'm always interested in any feature, addon, plugin, whatever that would make it easier to keep my tabs organized.

Anyone know of such a feature in FF?

Similar feature is available in Brave and other Crome-engine browsers. I used to use it a lot and have been missing it in FF. The closest I found in terms of functionality is TabStack plugin.

Gracias amigos! Plenty here for me to chew on ... I'll check-out those addons.

I'd also like to ask if there's something like Vivaldi's two level tab stacking.

While it may sound like a weird solution, for me keeping multiple windows to organize tabs was working like a charm - that is, until 116 "updated" Ctrl+Shift+T behavior.

What update have you seen?

[–] dragonayzer@fedia.io 1 points 1 year ago

Previously it only restored tabs in the current window (as there is a separate Ctrl+Shift+N to open a closed window), but now it also opens windows, so closing a single-tab window effectively locks you out of spamming Ctrl+Shift+T as it restores that instead. And stops (as it was a single-tab window from start, there's no tab to re-open there).

Am sorry if it sounds like a rant, but that "update" was inconvenient enough for me to rollback to FF115 and disable updates, so...
