you can pry the vivaldi tab management out of my cold dead hands
I do not know Vivaldi, but I live and die by Tree-Style Tabs. It puts the tabs on the side and arranged them in trees that can be managed as groups. It's the add-on that has kept me on Firefox.
Same. Treestyle Tabs and wide-screen are the perfect couple.
For me it's the killer app of Firefox. Chrome actually has a tree style tab but it functions different and sucks.
I just don't want to use the internet if I can't use tree style tab. It's so much better than default tabs.
I'm not sure if the entire functionality can really be replicated, but Firefox does have a pretty good add-on selection, maybe you can find one that suits your needs.
Because this is not the first time I've heard about Vivaldi tab management, I looked over a couple videos and it really seems impressive, props to them for doing something really cool in this department. However I know myself, and I'd use maybe half the features that are present, most likely even less. If this is also true for you, I'm almost sure a Firefox add-on could be a suitable replacement:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tab-manager-plus-for-firefox/
https://addons.mozilla.org/blog/too-many-open-tabs-extensions-to-the-rescue/
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/sidebery/
At the end of the day you obviously don't need to switch if you don't want to, I would just be really amazed if it turned out the main tab mgmt features from Vivaldi were never added to an add-on.
Amen brother.
