> Tabs on the left and right edges of the windows work much better, because text is wider than it is tall, so you can fit a lot more tabs, and actually read their labels.

Yes, I find that more than a handful of tabs at the top of the page are hard to use.

The wonderful "Tree Style Tab" add-on for Firefox puts your tabs in a tree at the side of the page:

The hierarchy represents parent-child relationships between pages: if you open a page from another page, it becomes that page's child in the tree. You can drag tabs around to rearrange them, collapse/expand/close subtrees, etc.

It's one of the very few add-ons I can't live without (the others being uBlock Origin and uMatrix).
