How do I make the tab size LARGER?

I want to increase my tab size in Edge. I looked for the Settings > System > Display. Under “Scale and Layout”, that another person suggested - but it does not exist.

I have a Settings & Performance selection, but it has nothing about Display, or Scale & Layout.

I am running Version 121.0.2277.83 (Official build) (64-bit))

My tabs are so small, I can barely click on them. I have 55 tabs open, and they are about 1/8 inch wide.

IS there some setting under edge://flags I can use (like chrome://flags has for tab scrolling that can set sizes also)?

Who want tabs to shrink to a size so small?

Who wants to NOT have tab scrolling?

    Hi Mitchell,

    Thanks for your feedback, I do appreciate it.

    My problem with vertical tabs is that it uses (takes) screen space that my actual web page being displayed would otherwise have available. I can see where some people would be ok with this, but I am not. I use Firefox a lot, and I am happy with the way they allow scroll-able tabs that do not shrink, regardless of how many tabs are open.

    Why can't Microsoft all both the vertical, and the NON-SHRINKING horizontal tabs?

    Does anyone really want shrinking horizontal tabs, that become so small they cannot be read, or, even accurately clicked on?

    I know I am late in posting here, but I totally agree with you. It's just plain dumb that the edge tabs are so small. And the solutions are all about the vertical tabs - which as you said takes valuable space on the screen. :-(

    > Settings

    > Appearance

    > Scroll down to 'Touch'

    > Set 'Touch mode' to ON

    I refuse to use MS Edge for this one reason. I keep dozens of tabs open, sometimes several dozen, and if I can't read the tab title, or even click on the tab without fear of unintentionally closing the tab since it is so small I almost cannot click in the tab's area that does not close the tab - I will not use Edge,

    WHO WANTS THESE ITSY BITSY TAB SIZES ANYWAYS?

    I agree - this is just stupid that you can't have wider tabs. How does this make sense to microsoft developers?
