User reviews

This does NOT give a permanent list of open tabs down the side of the screen but is merely a drop down menu of open tabs. The name VerticalTabs is misleading and I'm surprised no-one has highlighted this before me!

It’s a shame this extension appears to be no longer maintained. If you’re in need of a vertical tab solution, I’d recommend giving VertiTab

К сожалению действительно наверное лучшее что на данный момент удалось найти. но мне этого тоже недостаточно. Почему нельзя доработать и сделать так как по умолчанию в браузере Edge чтобы вкладки были слева Вертикально и всегда видны. что же в этом такого сложного. уже перепробовал куча расширений нет. Или здесь есть такая возможность и надо покопаться в настройках? пока не нашёл
