A browser extension that displays tabs in a vertical tree-like structure on the side of the browser window, promoting easier tab management and organization.
Tree Style Tab is a browser extension available for Firefox, Chrome, and other browsers that modifies the default horizontal tab layout. Instead of tabs appearing along the top of the browser window, Tree Style Tab displays them vertically on the left side in a collapsible, tree-like structure.
This allows users to organize dozens or even hundreds of open tabs in a hierarchical manner. Tabs can be nested under parent tabs to indicate related categories or topics. Collapsed branches hide child tabs under their parent while still showing the branch name, reducing clutter in the tab bar. This is especially useful for researchers, writers, and anyone who frequently works with large numbers of open tabs.
In addition to the tree layout, Tree Style Tab includes features like tab coloring for easier visual identification, keyboard shortcuts for managing tabs, mouse gestures, and integration with other extensions. It offers deep customization options for power users while remaining intuitive to navigate.
Overall, Tree Style Tab aims to alleviate the shortcomings of horizontal tab bars once many tabs accumulate. Its efficient use of vertical space and visual organization capabilities make it a popular extension for heavy tab users on Firefox, Chrome, and other supported browsers.
