> I disagree that Tree Style Tabs are awful.

Curious, what display/screen size are you mostly using?

I find TST quite hard to use on a Macbook / Laptop screen... it's much better on a bigger screen though, and best when using a second/separate display/window for it.

4k screen, but run at the standard hidpi on macOS. I also use it on an m1 MacBook pro screen.

My standard setup is 3 screens: portrait, landscape, landscape. I run the browser on either of the landscape screens depending on what I'm working on.

Thanks, so when you use it on the Macbook, do you use a second screen for it also?

I often use my iPad as a secondary screen to show the TST window when using my Macbook... but find it hard to use with only the Macbook screen.

So curious how you'd do that / set it up when only using the Macbook screen.

When only using the MacBook, I make use of ctrl-uparrow to switch between browser and VSCode. I have tree style tabs in the Firefox sidebar, not a separate window.
Thanks for your feedback, i'll have to give TST in the Firefox sidebar another try...

I use the Contexts app (Fast Search) for that - https://contexts.co/
