What do you think about vertical tabs?
Reza_Ameri I don't use them at all. Unless you have 15-20 tabs open, the vertical tab panel is mostly empty space, wasting a lot of screen space that could be used for content. Horizontal tabs take up a lot less space.
I'm curious about why you "believe majority of Microsoft Edge user have been using it". I suspect exactly the opposite.
in your screenshot, it's just expanded, that's why.

- Reza_AmeriJun 29, 2022Silver ContributorNot sure why you are saying this, but when you have too many tabs it is hard to manage and view them, they become too small. The vertical tab is great when you have so many tabs and want to manage them.

Reza_Ameri I'm glad it works for you. Not so much for me. I don't want to minimize the vertical tabs (you can't see what the tab is if minimized) so you have to expand to see the various vertical tabs. An extra click. And you always lose the top line anyway for the "current tab". Just less space as was commented previously with the stats.
Today, the vertical tabs just appeared for me. It was not a good experience as I only had 2 open. My preference is to NOT have them EVER.

that logo is responsive and not related to this. it just shifts a little to the right that's why it gets smaller.
- shaheedmalikMar 17, 2021Iron ContributorLike said, the viewable area decreases while in vertical mode. That's the fact.
