How to enable 'vertical tab bar' in Edge

Question

Hi

This is my new tutorial which shows how you can enable 'vertical tab bar' in Edge. This is not from any source, but I figured this out when I was playing with edge://flags. Please note, for this to work, you need the latest Chromium-based Edge which is up-to-date. You can download it from here:Download Microsoft Edge Browser | Microsoft

Let's get started!

1. Open Edge and type edge://flags and hit Enter key.

2. Click on the drop-down near the flag which loads and click on Enable.

3. Now click on the Relaunch button below the page and the flag will be applied.

When it launches back, click on the button on the top-left corner of Edge...

...and this is what you see:

This is one of my most favorite tweaks in Edge Experiments!

I hope this tutorial helps you.

This may have been true back on March 4th, but this is not accurate, now.

Vertical tabs are, now Default, no flag is needed, anymore.

> Settings > Appearance.  Turn on toggle for Show Vertical tabs button.  It will be at the left end of the toolbar, Hit it and tabs will reposition themselves.
