Sidewise has a vertical scroll bar, inclusion of a horizontal slider would be very useful when there are a lot of tabs open.

Sidewise often locks up my entire browser while a page is loading, page loads slow, can't scroll, change tabs, or use hangouts app without delay of 5-10 seconds or more. Issue does not occur with Sidewise disabled.

I've tried most configuration options on/off (including animations), but no change. I even tested some experimental chrome://flags options but still does it. Only other extension I'm using is uBlock Origin, which I tried toggling off too.

I can't quite narrow down exactly what pages trigger it but a lot of google pages do such as https://play.google.com/store/apps/ but it seems like Sidewise is causing some sort of locking/blocking of certain browser processes/threads while certain pages are loading.

Like many people have in other issues, I want to start by saying that the work you are doing here and the extension you've made are so important. Finding SideWise has filled a major need and you clearly understand how actual developers, researchers, and like-minded folks browse in the modern era.

My question: I've had to close and open Chrome a few times lately, due to various OS problems. When I've done that, the tabs listed in each window are not the same as when I closed the browser. Why do my tabs go missing after close / re-open?

I donated. If you are reading this and didn't; do.

Sidewise currently behaves like a separate window... :-(

Can you switch your sidewise UI to an actual docked side-panel (like vTabs?) i.e. chrome-extension://okpnlgbgcfchbicbhjmmhldhkbkfilce/help/help.html)

This is the one thing that's preventing me from moving to Chrome as my primary browser.

Chrome added tab discarding last year. This is great for memory, but maybe not so great for sidewise. When Chrome discards a tab as described here: https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2015/09/tab-discarding?hl=en it loses it's connection to Sidewise. If the sidewise tab is hibernated and brought back, it actually opens a duplicate tab, leaving tabs open in Chrome that Sidewise cannot control.

This is still the best replace to "tree-style-tab" on Chrome.

I've personally donated to this project. And I would love to see it sustained.

Is there some financial model, we can work out besides a "donate" model?

Mac style of operation question -- is reducing double clicking for Mac worth it when moving tree elements?

After checking and rechecking with extensions sidewise turns out to be the culprit. I believe this extension is adding some extra parameters to the embedded video url. I checked the normal embedded code then compared the inspected code from the page the video was in itself between chrome w/o only sidewise, chrome w/ sidewise and chrome incognito. Only the chrome w/ sidewise added this extra bit "&api=1&player_id=vimeo-67494963" to the video url.

Can you confirm sidewise is doing this?
