Edge vertical tabs are still the underrated desktop win

The Story

Vertical tabs turn a crowded strip into a readable list. Chrome clones most Edge features eventually; this sidebar habit remains a quiet win for long research days when titles matter more than favicons.

Why It Matters

Tab overflow is an attention problem. Sidebars scale better for docs, dashboards, and issue trackers. If your day is twenty tabs deep, a horizontal strip is already lying to you.

Desk Take

Try vertical tabs for one workweek of research. If you go back, at least you measured it. Pair with sleeping unused tabs — the feature is not a license to open infinity.
