It's getting harder and harder to main Firefox. Brave's split tab feature is simple but so brilliant.

The Zen browser - a derivative of Firefox, also supports split tabs (and a lot of others like spaces, vertical tabs and glances). The project seems fairly active and up to date in the past few years.

Firefox has experimental split tab hidden inside about:config since 146.0 (December 9, 2025)

A decade ago there was a Firefox addon called Tile Tabs that could do any number of arbitrary splits. It died along with all the old-style XUL addons.

1. Look for a new browser instead of Firefox that also have a history of being trustworthy.

On: What, if anything, should I do about using Mozilla's Firefox

[rohin15]

I've been using Brave at work for my default browser but Firefox for personal things. I've been really impressed by Brave and so, since the Firefox news, I have decided to use Brave as my personal browser. I understand it's chromium based which is a non-starter for some but that it's open source and that Brendan Eich isn't a Google fan makes it tenable for me to try.
