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.
Whatโs different: Simple UX upgrades that make a big impact on focus and multitasking.
Features:
โ Vertical tabs for better tab management
โ Full-page reading mode for distraction-free browsing
Benefits: Stay organized, find tabs faster, and read without noise.
Who itโs for: Power users, multitaskers, and anyone juggling lots of tabs daily.

@rohanrecommendsย 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?
@moh_codokiaiย 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.
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!
Saw this first in firefox and am glad that it made it to chrome
