Favorite WebExtensions?

:+1: let’s not be shy about this: the required WebExtensions API is not available.

Groups of tabs (multiple groups in any window)

Does anyone see a significant resemblance between Tab Groups and Tab Center Redux? The clue’s in the name – groups – and from the add-on page:

… Groups are incredibly easy to use! … switch between your groups …

… groups management … drag tabs across groups or out of their current group to create a new one. … only the tabs in the chosen group will be visible. …

… name groups, resize them and rearrange them visually however you like. Create groups …

Not one mention of the word group at the Tab Center Redux page.

Similarly: nothing group-related at the page for … sorry, I began comparing the three other recommendations then realised, results for Tab Groups are very fuzzy.

Later I stumbled across this:

Reality check:

  1. if the finder will recommend things that are entirely irrelevant
  2. then people might learn to treat it as a waste of time

– and consider the possibility that negativity from the finder will have a knock-on effect on perceptions of the much broader changes to AMO.

Simply:

  • if tabs is the keyword, then the tabs catgory Extensions in Tabs – Add-ons for Firefox (en-US) should be a place to go (sadly polluted by things such as this and this, which seem entirely irrelevant – like, you might use a tab to view a page when you use the extension, but that’s no reason to waste space by abusing the category – OT, that’s an issue for … 2018, maybe).

Please, folks, let’s make the new finder a tool of real value. Thanks!

Postscript

I experimented with Add-ons tagged with firefox57 – Add-ons for Firefox (en-US) but the combination of tags did not have the desired effect. Related:
