- Norm HinmanMar 10, 2021Copper ContributorJust confirmed that the upgrade from Edge 88.0.705.81 to 89.0.774.48 (Official build) (64-bit) screwed up the pinned tabs by changing them from icons to full text. This hogs all of the real estate on the left side of the browser window and, if you have enough pinned tabs, makes it so you can't even access or scroll the unpinned tabs. Please put it back! This removes and spoils the beauty of vertical tabs. If you don't want to put it back as it was, at least give us a choice of how to display the pinned tabs so we can put it back based on preference.

please make sure to send this using the feedback button on Edge too.

Edge developers made that change but after some time, when they realized people don't like it, reverted it back, but the change happened in version 90 (if i remember correctly). so i mean the next stable version will definitely be the way you want, and insider channels like Dev/Canary/(soon)Beta are the way you want.- ScottyCrytekApr 22, 2021Copper Contributor
HotCakeX I guess I'm the only one who prefers the pinned vertical tabs to display fully. I was quite annoyed by the change in Edge v90 to display pinned tabs as only icons, and I sent a complaint via feedback.
To me, the whole point of vertical tabs is to see more of all the tab names, to better identify them. Pinned tabs just stay at the top.
Clearly, this should be a user option.
