Zen folders like in arc

[GAL1LE0-CL]

If you add this, i think lot of ARC users are going to pass into Zen

I second this. This has been a feature I can't live without. I can use it to apply PARA method within the workspace and it is incredibly useful.

Example from Arc:

We are letting firefox finish their implementation of tab groups so we can build upon it, hence it will probably take a while for Zen to have something like that

how long does it seem like it'll be until then?

Tab groups are out of experimental in Firefox 135 which is slated for Feb 4.

Great, at least it sounds like they have momentum

Just wanted to mention that Mozilla has just begun implementing tab groups into their Nightly builds:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1907090

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1938187

https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/a1ddc48882ff

I did some tests and it seems to work pretty well!

This would really round out the experience in Zen.

Hi

On Brave Beta browser has folders for group tabs. I use this addon Simple Tab Groups at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/simple-tab-groups/ Also it can backup the bookmarks in the settings. You create a new group for each spaces you have. Then you click the group that you open. leave it open when you shut down the computer then when you go back on zen it will have the same open group.

Important

1. Just to mention that, each container/ workspace should have it's own folders/ dir's to work with. Similar to Arc. It seems more reasonable than having same dir, folder for all container/ workspace
2. It would be nice if those dir or folder are scroll-able if there's too many tabs opened. The whole tab bar from dir/ folder to all tabs that are opened. same as Arc browser

But... I used to use sidekick who offer Chromes Tab goups and then I found Arc which takes it one step further and uses folders and also allows sub folders/nested folders

One particular area where I prefer the use of folders is. In sikdekick, whenever I open the browser, the tab groups reopen and I need to go through and close them. In arc, the folders are in the same state as they were before I closed the browser.
Also, for organising, the use of sub folders is a game changer

Jumping onto this thread to say i also would like this. Hopefully mozzilla can implement their stable version soon so we can get it in zen

Nice!!!

Going back to my last post above and based on the pictures that others have shared on what they like about the set up on arc...

I personally feel that it would be better to base thus feature type off of sideberry rather than mozillas tab grouping

The reason being, as mentioned above. I have used sidekick who base it on Chromes grouping option which is very limited.
Arc use a set up which is similar to sideberry which offers nested folders and it offers a lot more flexibility.

A solution based on Sideberry would definitely be an excellent addition

to dev, why not just add a special folder to bookmark and use it for store tab data that user can also rename tab or add folder or sync it, make ui to combine tab and the bookmark that store in special folder to make it look like using normal tab.

for example.
/ Bookmark Menu / ZEN-TAB / WORKSPACE-1 / <all tab here, store as bookmark >
/ Bookmark Menu / ZEN-TAB / WORKSPACE-2 /< user dir >/ <all tab here, store as bookmark >

[yumin-chen]

Good idea! Syncs well automatically too
