What happened to pinned tabs in the vertical layout? They used to display as icons, like how they display in the horizontal layout. Now, in the latest Canary and Dev builds, they're displayed like regular tabs, not as icons. Each pinned tab uses up the entire width of each line, so they're visually the same as non-pinned tabs. This is a terrible decision!
I have like 30 pinned tabs, and previously they were all displayed in a nice grid layout of icons at the top of my vertical tab bar. Now, since each pinned tab takes up an entire line, they use up all my vertical space and the feature has become useless. Please go back to the original layout of icons for pinned tabs, or provide a setting that would allow users to configure this to their preference.

hi,
it's back to the way it was before now, in Edge Version 90.0.784.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit)
pinned tabs in vertical tabs only have favicons, when the vertical tab panel is pinned.

THANK YOU for sharing, i have switched over to canary for now, it's much better having the favicons only option back.

@HotCakeX I guess I'm the only one who prefers the pinned vertical tabs to display fully. I was quite annoyed by the change in Edge v90 to display pinned tabs as only icons, and I sent a complaint via feedback.
To me, the whole point of vertical tabs is to see more of all the tab names, to better identify them. Pinned tabs just stay at the top.
Clearly, this should be a user option.

@HotCakeX Is there any way to change the pinned tab to look just like normal tab in vertical mode? I need to see the title so I know if there's any unread notification on my pinned tab. Thanks.

Thanks for taking all our feedback into account
I, personally love the way it is now with only the favicon, I'm all for user options though.
I wouldn't see much difference in a pinned and unpinned tab they looked the same, showing the site/page title. Since tabs can be rearranged, how would a pinned tab showing the whole title help over and unpinned tab that you have at the top of the list. (Serious question, not trying to be snarky)

@gweather they look the same but they behave different. Pinned tabs will automatically open when I launch the browser. And they won't be closed by the close other tabs option. If you have to keep tabs (no pun intended) on multiple tabs then it'll be a hassle to open them again each time.

@gweather My reason would be when you want multipile pinned tabs that happen to share the same Icon, it's impossible to know what site is what without hovering over it. A way to customize the icon would be nice to
