Add-on summary
Tab management doesn't have to be a hassle
Forest is built on the concept of managing tabs like a "tree". By default, any new tab opened from the current tab is organised as the "child" of the current branch and displayed beneath of the current tab in the menu. The children of the branch can be shown by toggling the arrow sign in front of the branch tab. It is useful for grouping tabs on similar topics as you're browsing the internet.
FEATURES:
- Drag and drop to organise tab
- Add new tab
- Delete tab
- Duplicate tab
- Mute / Unmute tab
- Reload tab
- Pin / Unpin tab
- Hibernate tab

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

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.
