Google Chrome just rolled out vertical tabs + an upgraded reading mode to boost productivity.
Managing too many tabs and distracting pages? This solves it by organizing tabs vertically (so you can actually read titles) and offering a clean, immersive reading view.
What’s different: Simple UX upgrades that make a big impact on focus and multitasking.
Features:
– Vertical tabs for better tab management
– Full-page reading mode for distraction-free browsing
Benefits: Stay organized, find tabs faster, and read without noise.
Who it’s for: Power users, multitaskers, and anyone juggling lots of tabs daily.

@rohanrecommends This is quite amazing. How does the vertical tabs sidebar integrate with existing tab groups; does it make grouping and collapsing even smoother for heavy multitaskers like us in content/research workflows?
@rohanrecommends that vertical tabs are broken in full-screen mode on the Mac. I thought they would fix it for the public release, but no…
@moh_codokiai Finally, something for people who keep 30+ tabs open at once. Vertical tabs feel like a small change but could really change daily browsing
Finally, Chrome has it too. I've been using vertical tabs in Edge for a long time and I absolutely love it.
With screens getting wider and wider, vertical tabs is really useful!
Arc vertical tabs are still the best implementation of this feature. Dia (from same company) have done it right too. But this version in chrome is lazy af.

@bryantchen Why did you abandon ARC for Chrome? Why should I switch?

Woww this is extremely useful for me,
I usually use arc/dia on daily-basis, I'll give it a try.
Good job.
A much better view than the horizontal ones. I don't think I would be lost in this view. Congrats on this new update!
Love this! I can't believe I never even considered this a possibility, but this will be a game changer for differentiating between all the similarly named google docs I work in each day. Great update!
Vertical tabs are one of those features that feel obvious once you have them but you never knew you needed. With wider monitors becoming the norm, horizontal tabs waste so much space. @rohanrecommends Have you noticed any performance difference when running a lot of tabs in vertical mode versus the classic layout?
