MicrosoftVertical tabs preview now available in the Canary and Dev channels
Tomorrow, we’re releasing an early preview of vertical tabs in Microsoft Edge. This feature, which is now available in the Canary and Dev channels, allows you to find and manage large numbers of tabs...
That sounds good too, they need to first add vertical tabs to full screen mode in Edge
HotCakeX, I see the vertical tabs work when the window is maximized, but not when it's truly full-screen (pressing F11) without any chrome visible, but I don't see horizontal tabs then either.

without any chrome visible? what do you mean?
vertical tabs don't work on with ShyUI, which is when pressing F11 and that mode auto hides the address bar and tabs. so when you move your mouse cursor to the top the address bar and tabs will appear. that's the same full screen experience Edge legacy had.
HotCakeX, sorry, "chrome" (as opposed to "Chrome") refers to the UI elements that are part of the browser window, rather than part of a web page. That's what disappears when you hit F11.
I see what you mean about moving the mouse to the top of the screen with vertical tabs. They effectively revert to horizontal tabs. I guess that's better than just never appearing at all, but I agree with you: they should be preserved. Interesting UI question though, should you still move the mouse to the top of the screen to get vertical tabs to appear on the left side of the screen? And if the answer is "No, in that case, move the mouse to the left edge," then what about users with multiple monitors who can't go to the left edge of the monitor?

Yeah move mouse to the left for Vtabs and to the top for address bar, favorites bar etc
