Tired of tab overload in your browser? Microsoft Edge’s Vertical Tabs feature is a powerful, underused tool that can simplify your browsing experience and help you stay focused. By displaying your tabs in a vertical list on the side, you gain more screen space and a clearer overview of your open pages—especially helpful if you juggle multiple tabs during work or research.
Why Use Vertical Tabs?
- Improved organization: See more tab titles without shrinking them.
- Better multitasking: Quickly scan and switch between tabs.
- More screen space: Hide the vertical pane when you need a wider view.
How to Set Up Vertical Tabs in Microsoft Edge
- Open Microsoft Edge.
- Look at the top-left corner of your tab bar.
- Click the “Turn on vertical tabs” icon (it looks like a square with a vertical line).
- Your tabs will now shift to a sidebar on the left.
- (Optional) Click the collapse arrow at the top of the tab panel to save even more space.
- To go back, click the same icon again to turn off vertical tabs.
Quick Tips
- You can drag and drop tabs within the vertical layout for easy reordering.
- Right-click a tab to add it to a group, mute, or close tabs to the right.
