Vertical Tabs

The ever shrinking tab sizes in Chrome/Edge as you open new tabs is a really bad UX. One reason I often keep too many tabs open is because I can't read the title to decide which of them I could close...

    sambul95 Tab Groups only partially solve one of the problems mentioned by the OP. They don't solve the real estate issue and I'd argue they're only a partial solution to the UX issue. Vertical tabs are a game changer and Edge needs them.

I totally agree. I will be a Microsoft Edge user once vertical tabs come out but they introduced it on March 31 and I got all excited. Here it is July 1st and it still isn't out. When is the vertical tabs option going to come out? Till then I am still a Google Chrome user.

        Pavlyukoff They got removed yesterday in an update and I am really disappointed. I lost all my tabs that were in the vertical layout and I was just starting to get used to the layout. I honestly don't know why they removed it.

        Edit: Its back
