Are vertical tabs better than horizontal ones?
What do you use?
>>
>>106426365
no you have to wait for the animation to load to know what tab you're looking at as opposed to being able to read what the tab is at a glance
>>
>>106426365
I wish but sadly it leads to even less screen real estate, if the tabs were 'on top' of the site it'd make sense

No.

I use vertical tabs with just the icon so it doesn't use much horizontal space.

technically, its more efficient for wide screens allowing to see the names of tabs even with many tabs open.

Some addon that hasn't been updated since 2018.

seems like the plugin sideberry is tree style tabs but rewritten.
its much faster than the old tree style tabs.

I read this and thought "who has ever needed a vertical tabspace?" before realizing you meant browser tabs
>>
>>106426365
I'm liking them more. Most websites don't use the full horizontal space of my monitor so having tabs on the side doesn't take away anything but whitespace. And it's definitely easier to keep track of tabs this way.
>>
>>106426365
I prefer OG horizontal tabs. I also try to keep them minimal. Anon makes a good point about taking advantage of horizontal real estate with vertical, but I have been keeping my browser window pretty thin for a long time (on a 4K).

Maybe I should give it a shot anyway. Tab groups does seem like a good idea if it's ergonomic enough. For Firefox it requires a plugin, right? Or is there a dev option?
>>
only on ultrawides. but then again, I almost exclusively use my browser on half my main monitor instead of the full thing.
>>
Horizontal tabs only make sense on a 4:3 screen.
>>
Vertical are more usable but it encourages tab debt. You'll end up with 1k tabs you never click on again.
>>
>>106426365
depends on your aspect ratio.
16:9 yes
9:16 no
