Tree Style Tab - give me space!

With the default for monitors now firmly stuck on wide screen, please please please can we have the ability to put the tabs down the side of the screen?  It releases so much space to actually browsin...

I second this. Guys, please implement tab tree support, it will be a real motivation for power users to migrate to Edge.

 

Proper tab tree support should include:

  1. An ability to hide horizontal tabs
  2. Automatic tree structuring (when you open a new tab it becomes a child of current one)
  3. An ability to close a subtree with one click
  4. Pinned tabs
  5. (Optional) Tab groups

At the moment Firefox is the only browser with first-class tab tree support (see https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tree-style-tab/).

 

Also there is a very good extension for Opera and Vivaldi (see https://addons.opera.com/en/extensions/details/tree-tabs/), but unfortunately not stable enough. Also on Opera you can't hide tabbar and you need to follow a complex procedure to get it working on Vivaldi.

 

Also there is a Chrome extension named Sidewise (http://www.sidewise.info/) but it's a real pain to use it because of Chrome's UI limitations (it's a separate window, you can't hide horizontal tabbar).

 

Microsoft, please, implement proper tab tree support in Edge. Seems like you are the only company who may listen to users and have enough capacity to deliver this feature...
