I tried Opera's new vertical tabs - and it might be the best implementation yet
If the lack of vertical tabs has kept you from adopting the Opera browser, you might want to take another look.
After years of requests, Opera finally introduces vertical tabs in its browser. Opera users, who have been using the browser for over a decade, have longed for this feature. Opera has several features that are essential for me, such as Workspaces, split-screen, and a great theming engine. However, the absence of vertical tabs has been a significant drawback.
To try vertical tabs, you must have a large number of tabs open, which can become a challenge. With horizontal tabs, the small size of the tabs can make it difficult to find the desired one, leading to a cumbersome process. In contrast, vertical tabs provide a clear and efficient way to switch between tabs. Opera has taken the efficiency of vertical tabs and made it even more user-friendly by allowing easy switching between vertical and horizontal tabs.
To switch to vertical tabs, right-click on any tab and select "Use vertical tab strip". To switch back to horizontal tabs, follow the same steps. Vertical tabs also allow resizing, enabling users to adjust the size according to their preferences. Opera's commitment to user satisfaction is evident in its development, and vertical tabs are a testament to that.
If you're already using Opera, you can update to the latest version to access this feature. If you haven't tried Opera yet, download the installer from the official site.
