MicrosoftDev channel update to 87.0.654.0 is live
The latest version also supports the ability to show or hide the vertical tabs button under settings and appearance.
- For me, it's just a toggle button, nothing happened no matter you turn it on or off.

Jeffz9527 still a work in progress
The devs are working on it!

It is ON, but, then what:white_question_mark:jeffbrown66 Does it do anything? I might be blind, but I can't see any change in the UI regardless of the setting.
The settings button appears to be impotent in Dev (nothing changes regardless of whether it's toggled on or off).
However, in Canary 87.0.658.0 the vertical tabs button has moved to the toolbar, between the back/forward arrows and the refresh button, taking the top two tranches of the tabs pane with it.I'm not sure that this is an improvement: it leaves an awkward empty space at the top of the pane when collapsed, and a whole tab with the pin icon when expanded.
On the plus side, it prevents the obscuration of the left-hand end of the toolbar when the pane is expanded but not pinned.
It also leaves the title bar pleasantly uncluttered. This gives them the opportunity of putting a program icon in the top left-hand corner so we can see at a glance which browser we're using.
To illustrate:
Noel Burgess Thanks for reporting this. I'm happy to confirm that the Tabs team has deployed a fix, which you should see in the subsequent update. We appreciate the constructive feedback and are glad to hear that you're enjoying the new UI!
