MicrosoftVertical tabs preview now available in the Canary and Dev channels
it's a great feature to be honest, I love using it.
One important thing is that, in order to view more and get more out of websites when using vertical tabs, the top area that was previously the place to show tabs, should be removed.
so, when the tab strip is vertically displayed on the left, the top area needs to be removed to have more free area for website contents.
Either the close/minimize/maximize buttons should come down and place next to the "..." ellipsis button, Or the address bar and the rest of Edge toolbar should go up next to close/max/min buttons (and the long address bar can shrink in size a little bit).
these 2 horizontal bars need to be merged because there is clearly a lot of space being wasted up there.
HotCakeX, I like the idea of saving space and merging those (especially on smaller screens like a laptop), but I also appreciate having an easy-to-grab title bar to drag and move the window.
What do you think about only doing what you said when maximizing the window -- in that situation, the title bar is not needed to drag the window and that's also the case where the user is clearly trying to make the viewable area as large as possible. When the window is not maximized, keep the title bar so it's easy to grab and move the window (maybe still vertically compress it a little bit, but don't lose it).
That sounds good too, they need to first add vertical tabs to full screen mode in Edge
HotCakeX, I see the vertical tabs work when the window is maximized, but not when it's truly full-screen (pressing F11) without any chrome visible, but I don't see horizontal tabs then either.

without any chrome visible? what do you mean?
vertical tabs don't work on with ShyUI, which is when pressing F11 and that mode auto hides the address bar and tabs. so when you move your mouse cursor to the top the address bar and tabs will appear. that's the same full screen experience Edge legacy had.
