What do you think about vertical tabs?
Since vertical tab features released to the stable version of the Microsoft Edge, I believe majority of Microsoft Edge user would be able to try this feature out . I am wondering how is your experien...

I'd like if the team would read my recommendations here:
I think tab grouped by domain should be default for pinned mode..
There's way too much vertical space available so it wouldn't hurt making some Titles for the Group like:
[Favicon] DomainName
- TitleTab1
- TitleTab2
Then repeat that for the next group, it would resemble a real navigation menu making it more appealing to the eye as for the user.
//This is just a side note would be cool tho.
(You could even play around and place a search field at the top well like other modern navigation menus would be redundant tho. what wouldn't be redundant is following the fluent design guide line for side navigations placing settings and user'settings' at the bottom of the navigation thus moving one item from the top down to the navigation bar in case u don't know what I mean with user settings I mean that one round button at the top with user profile picture)
//Back to the feedback
As for the Flyout mode well thats annoying as hell the animation isn't smooth at all on well enough hardware I think thats a refresh rate issue on the rendering side.
I'd like to recommend being able to disable the flyout halfways replacing it with something similar that all windows users at least not hate a 'flyout' like on the Taskbar that shows a little preview of the site and the title (but please optimized so there's no loading lag) as for the close button just make it appear in front of the favicon as an overlay thats a much faster approach and less moving parts for accessibility reasons or something like that.
//A little quality time
Opening tabs is annoying to.. well atleast having more options wouldn't hurt
there are three ways to open tabs one of them is uhm just redundant so its okay (the one inside the three dots menu)
so there are two ways that are still kinda annoying one if you're not a power user you don't use
cmd + t the other one is the new learning curve that the new tab button now is inside a vertical list on the bottom moving farther down the more tabs u have but the first thing most of us do is.. well not looking down. (its okay for settings and stuff because thats something u want to look for if you need it)
So I'd like an option to move it up maybe switching place with [Disable vertical tabs] which should be able to be removable if someone chose to activate this feature I think they want to give it a try..
The other option would be giving it some space from the adressbar making it appear always at the top thus removing the learning curve for the end user.
Of course these are my personal opinions but give it a thought they're not that bad.
