Tab-heavy users struggle to organize browser and editor tabs
People with many open tabs find routine cleanup tedious and want better ways to group, scan, and arrange them. The evidence also points to difficulty separating browser profiles and to a request for vertical tabs in VS Code, so the pain spans related but different environments. Existing controls and tab tools do not meet every user’s preferred workflow, and browser extensions may not be able to address profile management or mobile controls fully.
For browser power users and developers. Mentioned from Oct 2020 to Aug 2025 on GitHub and Hacker News.

it still has many pain points especially if you're a tab hoarder. try closing a window with 400 mid to heavy tabs and see how long it takes, you can select the tabs individually and they will close way faster
It is one of the main things holding me back from ditching Firefox completely. Please consider hiring @piroor. And barring that, please consider incorporating some of his brilliant ideas into your own implementation
