How To Use Vertical Tabs In Microsoft Edge

November 10, 2020 by jerry23

The vertical tabs concept is not new to web browsers. It can be enabled in all major web browsers through extensions. In fact, Chrome offered vertical tabs as a built-in feature for some time before removing it.

Why use vertical tabs in Edge?

Vertical tabs are boon, especially for wide and ultra-widescreen monitor users. These wide and ultra-wide monitors have more space horizontally than vertically. When the vertical tabs feature is enabled, tabs will show on the left side of the browser.

One of the main benefits of switching to vertical tabs from the default or conventional horizontal tabs is that we can see more tab labels even when tens of tabs are open. As you know, while using the horizontal tab setup, browsers shrink tab labels as you open more tabs.

If you are interested in vertical tabs, you will be glad to know that it is coming to Edge stable version soon. Edge browser now offers vertical tabs functionality in the Canary and Dev channels.

When the feature is enabled, a vertical/horizontal tabs toggle button will appear at the beginning of the toolbar. By clicking on the toggle button, you can quickly switch between vertical and horizontal tabs.

Vertical tabs offer all the functionalities provided by horizontal tabs. You can pin tabs, mute tabs, and select multiple tabs by holding down the Ctrl key and then clicking on tabs. So, you do not lose any functionality while using the vertical tabs feature.

Here is how to enable the vertical tabs feature in Microsoft Edge and then turn it on or off.

Using vertical tabs feature in Microsoft Edge

Step 1: When using the Edge browser, click on the vertical tabs icon located next to the first tab from the left (refer to the picture below) to turn on the vertical tabs in Edge.
