When you are working on a project or doing some little research on something related to your studies, work, or even hobbies, we all open more than 6 tabs — I don’t know about anyone else, but I will open. For example in my case if I was about to create a website for my client means first I have to choose a better UI for the website for that I have to go through a couple of websites maybe 5 maybe 10, I go through each tab and I will see the reference and take them one by one and put it somewhere in the middle of the chaos.
The tab in the browser looks very tiny and we are not able to see them rather than other tabs, even the favicon looks smaller and unreadable. The only way is to go one by one to confirm it. This has been a little frustrating.
But now Google have fixed the frustration in their browser by introducing vertical tabs so there will be more space on the screen if you have a big screen laptop or a separated desktop so the tabs will be aligned on the left side and you can go through one by one very slowly and you will get to know what each tab has so you can easily shift back and forth between the tabs.
And also this is not only for beta users anymore Google have officially rolled out vertical tabs to everyone with Chrome 146 in March 2026 so if your chrome is already updated you are good to go. If you are someone who use Microsoft Edge or Arc browser you may already know this feature as they had it for years so for them chrome is little late to the party but for chrome users this is big thing.
Still I have not tested the vertical tabs in the chrome browser, if you want to check just right clicking on any tab you have opened and check for the option Show tabs vertically then you are in.
