Hey all, When you’re browsing with several tabs open and frequently need to switch between them – be it for work, studies, research, or even some shopping – you might want to switch to the vertical tab strip in Opera One. It makes it easier for you to see which tab is which, as the […]

YES!!!! The most waited for feature I think - and I was working already on the same extension, I see I can drop that and just enjoy the vertical tabs already built in!

I just launched the app, and a message about the new vertical tabs feature popped up, but I don't see any options to enable them.

@ipit: Refresh your browser again and it will be fine.

works well. Maybe you could add a button to switch between horizontal and vertical:

• horizontal bar: a button to the right of the '+' button
• vertical bar: at the top, next to the 'minimize' button
  No need to put this somewhere in a menu I think

Cool feature!
It would be even better if it stays collapsed, and only show the full name of the tab when I hover over the mouse (so it can hide automatically), but like it already!

Love this feature. It had made the Tab Islands feature actually useful for the first time.
You should add a Vertical Tabs switch to the Sidebar. It would be great to toggle between vertical/horizontal tabs with a single, easy-to-access button.

yeah, it looks great, but one feature is unavailable - when I hover over a tab in horizontal mode, it shows me all the tabs of that kind eg yt - all youtube videos that are open, google results, gmail accounts etc. Could you make it work in vertical tabs too?

Love this feature also, but one more thing that I really hope it will work is the Tab bar (both in horizontal and vertical) can be auto-hidden, just like the Sidebar layout, to maximise the screen space 🥹

i think i could love vertical tabs, if only i can put them on the right side of the screen, and maybe also have a button that allow me to switch between vertical and orizontal way. at the actual state of things i will keep use the orizontal way, but it's promising

Chrome does it better!

1. More copmact (less space among tabs).
2. You can see if a tab group is collapsed or expanded (right-side arrow icon on a tab-group bar. Critical! Why in Opera there is the number instead, and we can't tell the collapse-status???
3. We can clearly see which tabs are in a group - there is a vertical line on the left side. Opera has shaded color below the group - not that clear, combined with 4):
4. The active tab color is hard to distinguish from the shaded colors of in-group tabs.
5. The wonderful group buttons in the favourites bar, which can jump to other Chrome windows.
6. The last "New tab" tab is just "+", Opera "New tab" text looks like a tab name - misclickable.
