For me Zen Browser has the best layout:
- Nothing on top and on bottom of the page
- Sidebar
- Zone 1: Address bar
- Zone 2: Bookmarks like button for the always in use sites
- Zone 3: Pinned tabs
- Zone 4: Opened Tabs
- bottom: workspace selector
With this layout the usable page height is maximized

@Mlipka I just installed OperaGX after hearing that it was lightweight and for gamers, I Uninstalled after searching for vertical tabs and seeing this comment.
This is why we cant have nice things! -

Cam here to add +1 for the vertical tabs. While the work screens get wider and wider, it's really convenient to use side-bars for tabs.

There are no plans for vertical tabs. It's like a building second browser in a current browser and it's not really a frequently requested feature. We don't see value in adding it to AIR at this stage of the product.
May I disagree with you?
As far as I can see, this post is the most commented on and most viewed in the "Requests" topic. Do you still think it is not a frequently requested feature?

@Mlipka I don't see it as being too difficult to implement considering opera already has this built out in previous versions and removed it.
Also it seems like a very highly requested feature as this thread appears to be blowing up.

@Mlipka I don’t want to sound rude, but someday in the future you developers will remember that there was an opportunity to grow Opera’s audience with an update or with a simple addon. The fact that you say “there are no users requesting this feature and there are no plans to do it in the future” reflects two things:
-
that the team is neither understanding nor listening to the real needs of its audience, who take valuable time to discuss them in the official opera forum, and
-
that there isn’t even the will to do it.
I swear nobody wants ridiculous games, skins, or mods in Opera GX nor in another Opera Version. As I said months ago: the time you’re spending on unnecessary things could be used to build a better version of Opera and thus gain more market share. Mark my words: someday your browser will simply become irrelevant due to your egocentrism / incompetence, and you’ll be left with your arms crossed wondering why.
As a kindly reminder to all Opera investors: just look at the charts! Opera have fall behind Edge and we have to remember that Edge comes from the legacy of I.E. that nobody never used it, and look how far is now:

I´m Definetely switching to EDGE once and for all and I encourage to all of the people who have kindly took their time to respond to this thread switching to whatever vertical tab web browser
have a Good day!

@Mlipka it´s funny that you literally say "it´s like building a second browser in a current browser" ROFL! dude you have like 3+ versions of the same browser: Normal Opera, GX and AIR and the mobile version of all of them. Again, guys you don´t have to make 3 flavours of the same browser to appeal different public... You just have to make 1 solid version and make it cohesive and functional!

bump on this thread! vertical tabs are absolutely needed! vivaldi and brave already have them and we don't want to fall in competition, they are much neater and comfortable, less messy than horizontal top tabs, can be regrouped more easily and their sidebar can be hidden when not hovering on it to provide more space and resolution for the webpages!

Exactly! And now the devs have cool tools like cursor or claude code to make it happen...
