I will not dog anyone on using Floorp or all these forks, but... just take 10 minutes and harden Firefox yourself? Transparent process, and you learn a few things by doing the utmost minimum things. What if Librewolf tomorrow goes closed or adds weird stuff like that Chrome fork Thorium? Firefox will not.

What did Thorium add? Where can I find out more.

Oh that. Haha. Harmless but weird nonetheless to be in the source.

Floorp has been around for a couple of months, I'm using LibreWolf since 2021 so it's a little more trustworthy.

How do I get the same vertical tabs that Floorp has on other FireFox forks?

Tree Style Tabs?
