Instead of forcing you to work with all your open pages at the top of the screen, the vertical tabs layout displays them in a sidebar. This means you can open and view more tabs without them getting lost in the shuffle. Plus, you can easily see the full titles of each page and quickly switch to a specific page.

Vertical tabs also help if you use tab groups, which let you organize similar or related pages in their own individual homes. Tab groups are handy, but they can chew up valuable real estate when nestled at the top of the browser. With vertical tabs, you can open a group to easily see and access the individual web pages.

Next, you can control the sidebar that displays your vertical tabs. Collapse the sidebar to save space and then expand it when needed. Sort the vertical tabs by order. Right-click on any tab in the sidebar, and you'll find the usual menu of commands to open a new tab, create a tab group, pin or unpin a tab, close the selected tab, and close all the other tabs. You're also able to easily switch between vertical and horizontal tabs.
