Vertical tabs preview now available in the Canary and Dev channels

Tomorrow, we’re releasing an early preview of vertical tabs in Microsoft Edge. This feature, which is now available in the Canary and Dev channels, allows you to find and manage large numbers of tabs...

Yes. You are right, closing tabs in vertical mode is really not quick as we do in normal mode.

My suggestion is replace the "X" button left side on the before favicon or simply add a shortcut like holding ctrl or shift keys, when holding shortcut key the tab favicon automatically show "X" icon without pane expand.

Just consider this idea.

MahamKali Yes, when we hover over the website's favicon, we should get an "x" button.

    We can use Mouse Middle Button to Close Tab (unless you are using Laptop)

    This is pretty neat when comparing closing the X button.

      MahamKali Most people have a Laptop (even I'm posting with a laptop). And I have never heard of mouses with middle buttons. There is only a scroll thingy, and two left and right buttons.

        Kam If your Laptop Support Precision Touchpad you can enable Three Finger Gesture for Middle Button.
