  • treestyletab

    Tree Style Tab, Show tabs like a tree.

  • Out of the box Tree Style Tabs is not very good, due to decisions made by Firefox that are beyond its control.

    Enabling the desires behavior likely requires quite a few steps beyond just installing the extension.

    https://github.com/piroor/treestyletab/wiki/Code-snippets-fo...

    Originally, Firefox had a dropdown menu that allowed the user to choose whether tabs were on the top, bottom, left, or right.

    This has been an annoying trend with Firefox for some time. They take the default, expected functionality, marginalize it while saying "Users who prefer the old way can enable it in a setting / extension" and then the setting gets deprecated or the extension gets broken by Firefox.

  • hyperfine

    A command-line benchmarking tool

  • Yeah, while it's not as thorough as these tools, the method is at least reproducible and sane, and with ~10 or so samples, you get an interval with a nice confidence.

    Another through method will be hyperfine[0], yet I wanted to provide a method which requires no installation and can be done in a whim, without jumps and hoops, with the tools already at hand.
