That's probably furthest down on my list of features I look for in browser, where the top two are "Not run by a for-profit company living on extracting data from users" and "Can have tabs vertically in sidebar in a tree-based structured format".

Waterfox might be what you’re after?

- Supports JXL out of the box (including support for alpha transparency and animations)

- Vertical tabs with optional tree tabs (hired the original tree style tab developer to implement the feature)

- For profit, but I don’t want your data, collect it or use it to earn a living (telemetry/analytics/experiments disabled at build time and alongside a fair few patches on top to make sure external connections are limited to what’s necessary)

Sidebar, I’m the developer of Waterfox

Also one which doesn't add new image decoder with built-in VM that is rawdogged in C, like Safari.

Chrome and Firefox are making a very reasonable decision to wait for a memory safe decoder.
