Trying out Sidekick, Ferdium, Station, RamBox now.

Curious to hear what people's opinions are on these, and if there are any I'm missing.

Is there any reason these browsers would be more functional than regular Firefox with Sideberry or the Tree Style Tabs extensions?

I use Sideberry at work and at home. Between the containers, folder sorting, tab sleeping, and snapshots, I haven't found another browser configuration that's as flexible and functional.

Not to mention it works with any release or flavor of Firefox. So I don't have to worry about weird issues with non-standard browsers.

*Bonus points if you take the 10 minutes to setup a stylesheet to hide the default horizontal tabs.

I like the dedicated buttons for opening "apps", keeping them separate from tabs.

I’m using Arc browser full time for work and personal use now. Absolutely in love. They’ve just released publicly after a while in closed beta, so no more invite keys needed!

I like the clean and privacy-focused interface. The extension library isn't as large as some others, but house of hazards' curated approach ensures stability and performance.

I’m using Vivaldi.

I don’t know about the ones you posted but a chromium based one is important for my workflow.

Vivaldi had some issues of crashes but I feel like with some tweaked and each update it becomes better and better.

It’s now the staple in my daily workflow now (I’m a full stack web dev)

— finally got in my preferred instance. Did not see my previous comment. Weird

I used Ferdi then Ferdium on Mac. No complaints, Ferdium actually works better than Ferdi has. No need to reload a ‘tab’ because of crashed page and it doesn’t forget the Teams account / tenant setups. It’s stable and all notifications work fine.
