MicrosoftDev channel update to 89.0.767.0 is live
When you say that you finished rolling out vertical tabs, what exactly does that mean? I have been using it for a while now and love it. The ability to group tabs was available in the beginning, which I found very useful, but it had issues where the group title did not scroll and overlapped the actual site tabs. The grouping feature was removed several versions ago, but I still do not see that feature in this version. So does the "finished rolling out vertical tabs" mean you are bringing back the ability to group tabs or just that it is more broadly available in its basic form? If the latter, when will tab grouping return for vertical tabs? Or am I missing some flag that I need to enable to get it back? I could also be missing some discussion somewhere else that explains all this. 🙂
Thanks for all you and the Edge team do!

Gordon_Inman as HotCakeX mentioned, this is my way of saying that we've turned it on in code, which means 100% of Canary and Dev people will have it, regardless of their experimentation settings. Of course, the only thing that we've actually turned on is the button to enable vertical tabs; we've got lots of other work still in progress, for example with tab groups.

finished rolling out means the controlled rollout is finished, everyone in Canary/Dev channels should have access to vertical tabs feature no matter what region they reside in.
tab grouping is a different feature, they are only available through flags, there are 4 flags you can enable to get different tab grouping functionalities:
Tab Groups
Allows users to organize tabs into visually distinct groups, e.g. to separate tabs associated with different tasks. – Mac, Windows, Linux
#edge-tab-groups
Tab Groups Auto Create
Automatically creates groups for users, if tab groups are enabled. – Mac, Windows, Linux
#edge-tab-groups-auto-create
Tab Groups Collapse
Allows a tab group to be collapsible and expandable, if tab groups are enabled. – Mac, Windows, Linux
#edge-tab-groups-collapse
Tab Groups Collapse Freezing
Experimental tab freezing upon collapsing a tab group. – Mac, Windows, Linux
#edge-tab-groups-collapse-freezing
tab grouping works for both horizontal and vertical tab strips.
