Can you please make the vertical tabs autohide the same way the sidebar works with autohide? -

@Arthur2828 interesting idea, we consider already, but wouldn't it be the case that you want to see the tabs all time but just hide the sidebar apps? what would you benefit when you autohide everything?

@mohamedsalah i also want the autohide vertical tabs. Its just neat that i get all the screen and when i want to change tab, i could just hover it. Same with the top address bar also autohide. So i can get full screen. The only thing i missed from zen browser.
Plus i dont know why the sidebar is still there after vertical tabs is implemented. Its like having 2 sidebars overlapping. It would be better to customize tools, so i can set tools i want in the vertical tabs and dont need the sidebar anymore. Tools like bookmarks, history, etc.

@mohamedsalah It works practically on the smaller laptops. If you are working on a big screen and you are developer or have big screen at home - yes expanding the vertical tabs and sidebar and keep everything open works well.
However when I go to office or on the move while using my 13itch laptop - keeping the vertical tabs open takes so much space! Hiding them and opening them adds an extra click each time which is annoying.
I used to use Atlas before and absolutely loved how they made vertical tabs autohide when you just hover on it. Worked weel on my big screen and on my small company laptop.
And another thing to note is the sidebar - if you have vertical tabs enabled, the sidebar can go away really its not needed.

@Arthur2828 fair point with smaller screen sizes, which Atlas browser were you using? the one from OpenAI? it will be retired on Aug 13th

@mohamedsalah Correct. Thats why I've switched to Opera to try it. Pretty good, but vertical tabs need more love!
