Forest: Tree Style Tab Manager - Enhance Tab Management on Edge
Forest: Tree Style Tab Manager is an ingenious Edge add-on that helps enhance your browsing experience. It organizes your tabs like a 'tree', with any new tab opened from the current tab designated as a 'child'. This makes identifying and grouping similar tabs incredibly easy. Features include options to add, delete, duplicate, mute/unmute, reload, pin/unpin, and hibernate tabs. With Forest, tab management has never been more smooth and efficient.

User reviews
Good extension. It's as functional as needed and pretty light on RAM.
However, on Edge the "external window" option is NOT reliably offered after clicking the "Plus" sign despite the "external window" option being toggled on in the settings. Sometimes I am offered "new external window", sometimes I am not.
Secondly, on Edge there is no shortcut to toggle the in-line view. Nor can we adjust the time I have to hover over the side bar for the menu to pop up.
Thirdly, there is no shortcut to toggle the view that would open if one clicked on the extension icon.
3 issues to solve. 3 stars to add ;)

TreeMap is better than this
by Peter, 2024-04-11
No way to make it replace the stock side bar, which makes it basically useless, but this might be a way Edge handles the tabs.
I don't want a separate menu, that I have to click to see the tree tabs along the cluttered side bar - I want the app to replace it.
