Pinned Tabs in Vertical Layout
What happened to pinned tabs in the vertical layout? They used to display as icons, like how they display in the horizontal layout. Now, in the latest Canary and Dev builds, they're displayed like regular tabs, not as icons. Each pinned tab uses up the entire width of each line, so they're visually the same as non-pinned tabs. This is a terrible decision!
I have like 30 pinned tabs, and previously they were all displayed in a nice grid layout of icons at the top of my vertical tab bar. Now, since each pinned tab takes up an entire line, they use up all my vertical space and the feature has become useless. Please go back to the original layout of icons for pinned tabs, or provide a setting that would allow users to configure this to their preference.
- I also submitted feedback for this, i was very sad to see this change, it made vertical tabs so much better for me and while i am not sure why it was changed, it would be nice to at least have a setting to go back to the previous way of it just showing the favicon / icon
- You're welcome,
Dev will soon get the change too 🙂
HotCakeX Is there any way to change the pinned tab to look just like normal tab in vertical mode? I need to see the title so I know if there's any unread notification on my pinned tab. Thanks.
- It's a change that made by Edge developers at the request of users, if you would like, please use the feedback button on Edge to share your feedback.

- I'd like them to be icons only too. It looks confusing when the pinned tabs look exactly the same as normal tabs. An option would be the best of both worlds.
- If you have a large number of pinned tabs, as I do, the pinned tabs take up all the real-estate on the left side and the unpinned tabs aren't accessible. I know the position and icon of my pinned tabs and don't need to see the full text label. Since there are others who want full names, then it sounds like the solution is to make it a settings option whether you want just icons or full names. I am VERY happy they went back to just icons!
