Edge Vertical Tab not working in MacOs
I am using latest version of MacOs Big Sur (11.2.3).
There seems the vertical tab not working in full screen mode.
When i am making full screen mode it switch back to horizontal tab mode automatically.
is anyone facing this issue ?
- Hi,
this is not an issue/problem since the vertical tabs support for full screen mode simply hasn't been implemented yet.
comment from an Edge developer:
"vertical tabs aren't enabled on any platform in full-screen yet since we're still determining, among other things, the interaction that would make the most sense. "

there have been changes to the vertical tabs, this is the most recent one:

- Seems like Yes, there is no solution Yet for Mac Device, but seems it is there for Windows devices
Vertical tabs in fullscreen mode were working a few months ago, however they were a bit buggy. In a frustrating update, the feature was entirely disabled in fullscreen mode again and is still fully disabled. I believe the ability to use vertical tabs in full-screen mod was probably a bug before with how they disabled it on Mac, letting you re-enable vertical tabs in full-screen mode when you weren't supposed to be able to in the right-click context menu.
It technically isn't a bug now, but it is something that would be nice to have. Having to keep Edge in a shared/normal desktop instead of being able to fullscreen the application is a frustrating limitation in MacOS, where full-screening an application is the only way to give it a dedicated virtual desktop (a workflow I think is a little easier in Windows).- Any progress on this issue? Is MS working on it? It's such a bad experience when switch from Windows with vertical tabs on to MacOS.
Please support it soon. I need to use vertical tabs on mac fullscreen very very much!

Almost a year later.... any updates?I still don't understand why this issue hasn't been fixed up until now.
It clearly is a big usability issue on macOS.
Why doesn't Microsoft just disable completely this feature on macOS if they don't plan to do it decently?- I have the same request. It seems MS doesn't care about the customer's request.....
- Has there been any progress on vertical tabs on Mac?
I'm currently on Version 92.0.902.84 (Official Build) (arm64).
And vertical tabs still don't work in fullscreen. - Any updates? The vertical tab is awesome, any technical block to bring this feature in MacOS?
More than two years later and still no vertical tabs in full-screen mode on macOS... This is definitely a problem for many users. Perhaps there are technical hurdles that can't be overcome? Vertical tabs is one of the main features that keep me loyal to Microsoft Edge. If I discover another browser that can achieve this, it might be enough to make me switch.
Mike Glenn How hard can it be???
any updates?
Still no progress?
- Brutal how this feature fails to get implemented. It's one of the key reasons to use Edge, IMHO.
Michael_Cram It looks like they've finally implemented it!
- Thanks.
