Forest: Tree Style Tab Manager Extension

Tab management doesn't have to be a hassle

Forest is built on the concept of managing tabs like a \"tree\". By default, any new tab opened from the current tab is organised as the \"child\" of the current branch and displayed beneath of the current tab in the menu. The children of the branch can be shown by toggling the arrow sign in front of the branch tab. It is useful for grouping tabs on similar topics as you're browsing the internet.

FEATURES:
* Drag and drop to organise tab
* Add new tab
* Delete tab
* Duplicate tab
* Mute / Unmute tab
* Reload tab
* Pin / Unpin tab

Luiz Fernando Giaretta Verona (ID: 00000047af743495) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/24/2023 really nice and the closest one from Firefox

developers Schittli (ID: 00000013e7a78cea) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 03/27/2023 Be careful! I have used a lot of Windows and Tab-Managers and Forest is the only one, which expect to get the "read and change all your data on all websites" access permissions. Pretty sure the provider doesn't bother to explicitly state which accesses they actually need - *so they just demand access to all your data!*

Thomas Schittli Akros (ID: 000000d102b8dd2b) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 03/27/2023 getforest.io has no transparency: - it does not list, which features are free - it does not list the price for this service Therefore, it's easy to decide: Uninstall it. I hate surprises with my credit card.

Jack ATK (ID: 0000004d6a6e9e03) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 03/04/2023 It's the best looking tree tab extension by far. The only problem is that it keep rearranging my tabs. Every time I make a new tab, it appears next to the tab I'm on, and gets put into a subgroup. This would be a 5 star extension if it just did its job instead of trying to rearrange my tabs :|
