Reviews of vertical tabs:
Very annoying; options don't work at all; it modifies the size and position of the browser window, no matter what you choose in the options; dev doesn't care enough to update or fix. Uninstalling.
It is acting really weird...Browser and the tab-list are all over the screen on a 4K monitor... Make so one can attache the tab-list on the browser's window.
EDIT: unfortunately I have to downgrade it to two stars, and will probably have to uninstall it. The windows management is a complete disaster. The extension keeps resizing itself at will, and it also modifies the size and position of the browser window, no matter what the chosen setup in the options is. This is extremely annoying. I don't want my browser window to be full width and I don't want it to overlap to the dock (I am on a Mac), which happens to be on the left-hand side. I will try to keep using it without clicking on the hamburger menu icon, but it shouldn't work this way. I hope this is fixed soon. PREVIOUS REVIEW (points still valid): Just started to use it, very happy about it I was considering switching to Edge, but the lack of customisation puts me off. With this extension, I particularly like the fact that I can move the tabs to the right, and set custom font size and spacing. I would like a cleaner design, without the dividers (that only add clutter), and with a white background instead of grey (or give me the option to customise). Flat design would also be better than old-fashioned gradients that only make the UI look heavy. Having it as a separate window is not ideal, but I guess that's not something that a dev extension can have control over. I like the fact that I can keep horizontal tabs and vertical tabs at the same time, it's not necessarily a bad thing. Thanks for the effort!
Works great.
Very useful and allows me to quickly scroll and change tabs, when I remember what ones I'm looking for. I just wish it didn't crash itself when trying to side by side panel it with fullscreen chrome on mac.
Very well made. I am using in chrome and brave browser where vertical tabs havent arrived like edge browser. (All above browsers are based on same chromium engine). I dont know why chromium and firefox browsers havent brought vertical tabs. Using horizontal tabs is good but when number of tabs exceed the display size, one needs to opt for vertical tabs. But my only is concern is that it chooses to open up in poup and I cant find a way to choose between open up in sidebar (always, irrespective of system page or homepage) or in popup. Please give us that option. Also consider updating it in 2022. I like search tabs feature. Dark mode is excellent. Size and width and size of font and display is well made. Worth using. But the concerns raised needed to be resolved. Thanks.
It forces the browser window to full screen. Very inconvenient.
I think this will be a nice add-on to the Chrome browser but it isn't ready for primetime. Will keep it running to see how I acclimate to it. Good Potential. Dark theme is modern looking and appealing. A couple of improvements I would like to see. 1) It is too narrow. Even though I uncheck or check "Auto Minimize" it makes no difference. When closed it will always open too narrow for me and I have to stretch it. 2) Show Pinned tabs has no effect other than to remove horizontal bar between pinned tabs and open tabs. 3) Although I have auto-minimize selected, extension does not minimize when tab launched. 4) Would prefer it did not clutter my taskbar.
Vertical Tab is added next to window, I note that another user has mentioned this and the dev has said this is because of a limitation of Chrome. If so, then why do other vertical tab extensions solve this problem? Having the tabs on the left of my screen outside the browser causes problem with my desktop layout, as i have my mac dock on the left of the screen, the pop-out window holding the tabs interferes with it, hiding behind it, always snapping to top-left 0, 0. The tab window shows all tabs open in the browser, not just the tabs of the window you are looking at, this leaves it being messy and unorganised. As I organise my work by window.
This was great up until about three weeks ago. I loved being able to easily see all my tabs and close the plethora of tabs that I wind up leaving open throughout the day. The issue is a few weeks back the titles of pages stopped showing up in the window, making it impossible to use it to navigate anything. EDIT: The updated version of the application has been working perfectly. Rating has been updated. Thanks for the swift resolution!
Did not work on Windows with a widescreen. Vertical tab window is added next to the main window rather than embedded into it. Tab titles were not showing.
