What if Edge automatically switched to Vertical tabs when too many tabs in horizontal tab strip?

HotCakeX "you said What if Edge left it up to users and i said it's already that way"

You ignore an important qualifier: "... if and when to use horizontal/vertical tabs ..." That will change with automatic switching, user opt-in or not.

That won't change with an option. you don't have to turn on the automatic switching if you don't want to, not sure which part is hard to understand for you.

let me tell you this way: there is an option, if you don't use it, everything stays the same as it is right now. got it?

nothing bad is gonna happen, nothing is gonna be disrupted and none of those things you said are gonna happen.
