| I just can't go back to horizontal tabs anymore. |

| i can't wait for Safari to add proper horizontal tabs. There's a sidebar with tabs but you still have compact tabs taking up precious vertical space |

| vertical tabs never really worked for me. What would you say are the biggest benefits for you? |

| ▲ | setsewerd 10 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | Not the parent commenter but 1. Great if you have a wider screen (could never do it on my old 13" Macbook Air, for a 15" it's pretty good but for a 24" iMac it's perfect). But if you need the space youjust have it set to minimize by default, maximize on hover. 2. See the titles of your browser tabs, which is great when you are like me and never have fewer than 30 tabs open at once. 3. Easier to select browser tabs when you have many of them open (ie they don't get squished unreadably small) | |
| ▲ | al_borland 3 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | I still use horizontal tabs, but have dabbled with vertical tabs. The biggest benefit I saw was that tab names stayed a consistent width and readable, no matter now many tabs I had open. With horizontal tabs, once you have over 10-15, you’re kind of flying blind. |

| What are you using instead? |
| |
| ▲ | vovavili 5 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | Edge for me, since it has the single best implementation of vertical tabs on the market, with smooth expand on hover. Every time I try other browsers, I am immediately put off by how lacking in polish vertical tabs feel in comparison and go back. | |
| ▲ | Unai 11 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | Not OP, but I use vertical tabs with Vivaldi. Pretty happy with it; I tried basically all browsers out there, fully switching to them for some time even if I didn't even like them, and after all that time I found Vivaldi the best overall browser right now (for me). | | |
| ▲ | dialup_sounds 9 hours ago | parent [-] | | +1 for Vivaldi, so many options | | |
| ▲ | adsuna 5 hours ago | parent [-] | | tried vivaldi and it felt really bloated and clunky to me, atleast compared to zen, is that just how it is or is it much better after configuration? |

| ▲ | DauntingPear7 13 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | Probably Zen, as Arc is dead | | |
| ▲ | FinnKuhn 13 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | Pretty sure both Firefox and Microsoft Edge both offer it as an option too. | | |
| ▲ | maleldil 3 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | Firefox's new implementation is subpar. You're better off using an add-on like Sidebery for more features, but you need custom user chrome CSS to hide the horizontal tabs. | |

| ▲ | teecha 13 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | Zen is lovely but I actually really miss the little arc window. Didn't realize how much I used it until it was gone. Sticking with Arc for now. | |
| ▲ | jitl 13 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | Arc works fine; Orion (Kagi's browser) is like an Arc built on WebKit. |

| ▲ | trenchpilgrim 10 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | Firefox added vertical tabs recently | |
