@parasite666 said in Vertical Tabs:
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...
@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!
@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!
In any case you can make both vertical and horizontal options( again like EDGE does ) and that´s it... every user satisfied!
@leocg If you're not convinced by the advantages of advanced tab management, perhaps Opera isn't the right browser for you. Some users may only need three or four tabs for daily tasks, and that’s perfectly fine ( but that´s the exeption rather than the rule and the stats are just proving this ). Chrome’s community might celebrate a slower pace of adaptation, but for professionals involved in serious content creation, research, AI development—even musicians then robust tab organization is a no brainer.
the problem is that you´re not treating tabs like things to do... when you write a list of groceries for example you write it down vertically for the only purpose of visual priority ( can´t imagine a single case of someone writing groceries list just horizontaly, it´s called "common sense" )
As a designer and multimedia creator, managing 20+ tabs is a daily necessity when tracking trends and accessing online AI tools. We need a system that isn't just functional but genuinely powerful and why not beautiful like the rest of opera´s UI. Dismissing progress as unnecessary only reflects a childlish argue and a missed opportunity to engage broader audiences (something that opera really needs if it wants to stay relevant on the future ). If users begin migrating to Opera, they’ll uncover valuable built-in features, such as pinboards, Aria, the usefull sidebar and other productivity tools. The real challenge is making this innovation accessible and compelling to ensure it reaches its full potential.
@Reitei17 yeah! Really the only reason why I dont set Opera as my Prefered browser is just because of Vertical Tabs. And I am so happy that I´m not the only one who stands for it right now, We don´t care about absurd games or wallpaper colors in Opera Gx... Precious time and money are wasted in the one killer feature we as users desperately want.
@leocg if that were the case then why Edge implements it as a constant feature in every update?. Edge has a bigger market share compared to Opera. Internet explorer was no rival 15, 20 years ago. Maybe that´s the only reason why users prefers Edge than Opera, just read the comments above this one
@scrapefour Exactly! Edge has taken tab organization to a whole new level, setting a benchmark for intuitive browsing. It's surprising that Opera hasn't implemented this feature yet, especially considering its reputation for innovation in areas like built-in VPNs and sidebar tools. Advanced tab management greatly enhances workflow efficiency, making it easier to navigate multiple open pages without clutter. Perhaps Opera will adopt similar functionality in future updates to stay competitive in the evolving browser landscape.
@Th3Winchester yeah definetely!. Opera has everything and more to join the vertical tab browser´s team.
