workspaces like vivaldi? (sh.itjust.works)

Hey everyone. I'm just migrating to floorp (first time maining firefox in 15 years) and I'm wondering if there's any good workspaces extensions. I think I've tried them all, but i've found nothing that let's me handle workspaces across multiple windows the way vivaldi does.

Basically what I want is workspaces the way vivaldi handles them. You can create a workspace and add tabs to it. you can select to open a workspace in a new window so when you close the window that workspace is saved and you can reopen it whenever you want.

What I've found with the workspace extensions I've tried so far is that when you open a new window, none of your workspaces are saved, so it's like a blank workspace. Floorp has workspaces but it only works for one window at a time.

Does anyone have suggestions how I could replicate vivaldi's workspaces functionaltiy without going back to that browser?

It is really hard to replicate Vivaldi's workspace or stacked tab features in Firefox. I know some have had good luck with replicating the stacked tabs with extensions I personally don't think it's the same. Floorp tries to implement workspaces but it's implementations is lacking. I can't remember if Pulse browser has this feature or not. Good luck.

I'm using floorp atm and their workspaces is really lacking. Opera's is the closest to vivaldi's but opera kinda sucks. I'm sketching out a rough idea for a hacky extension that may be able to accomplish this that basically just synchronizes bookmarks with current tabs in the window.

I love vivaldi's tab stacking and yeah firefox doesn't even allow basic tab groups on the tab bar. I've grown to like sidebery even more though, and the infinite nesting is super ideal for how my brain works.
