Plus Edge has support for vertical tabs built in natively. It's wild to me that horizontal tabs are still the default, using up valuable vertical screen space and having illegible names when you've got a certain number of tabs open, when vertical tabs are an option. So props to Edge for offering that.

I never really got into vertical tabs at all. Although I never have that many tabs open that I really need that space efficiency. I can never understand how people have more than like 8 tabs open.

I have to use edge at work and the vertixle tabs is my favourite thing about it.

I often need lots of tabs open and finding rhem is difficult ao i have an autohiding verticle tab bar and i put my tabs into groups which i name and collapse so i can see what each tab is as alot of tabs have the same title as part of my job involves the use of a service desk.

I wish other browsers had it.

I've never really needed to have many tabs open so I don't really understand that struggle. I might have it more with my new job in commercial lending where our loan origination system is a web based app so maybe I'll need to have a lot more tabs open for that. If so, I could see myself switching to vertical tabs but I've just never had a need to have more than like 10 open at a time and that's usually only when I'm shopping around and comparing products/reviews.
