Vertically Listed Tabs

Manage your tabs vertically and browse quicker!

Download

Vertically Listed Tabs is a Chrome extension designed to transform your tab management experience by listing your tabs vertically, attached to the side of your browser window. This approach tackles the common issue of cluttered horizontal tabs, enabling larger tab titles for faster visual scanning and easier navigation.

Key features include a resizable vertical panel on the left or right side, tab grouping with color coding, hover toolbars for quick actions like closing or pinning, drag-and-drop to reorganize tabs, and support for multi-monitor setups by detaching the panel. It also supports Windows and macOS window snapping and automatically syncs focus between the main browser window and the vertical tab panel.

This extension is highly customizable with options for background color and default width, supporting multiple browser windows with separate panels. It enhances productivity for users with many tabs open by making tab organization intuitive and visually accessible.

I just discovered this and it blew my socks right away. Chrome is a proper nightmare to work with but I have to use it for my job, and it's got leagues better now. All my tabs are so easily recognizable, and neatly organized in groups, and the interface is sleek and clean - actually properly beautiful to look at. And being able to use the bar as its own independent sub window that can be resized and taken to a different monitor is fantastic too. I'm amazed at how much customizing it's been done. Google could take some classes from these devs to improve on their atrocious UIs.

Nice that it recognises the tab groups. However, it's lacking lots of basic functionality, and the UI is poor. 1. Why have it as a separate window to the left? A drop-down from the icon would be more useful. With the current system it's completely unusable. It always opens the tabs from the newest window, not the window you're using. And it makes the window smaller, which is just straight up jarring. Uninstalling immediately mainly because of this. 2. No search?? 3. No x-button to close tabs, only full tab groups?? 4. At least the tab moving seems to work properly unlike many other tab managers, but the cursor being that 4-pointed arrow is weird.

Nice extension, with compact view and customisable colours. Unfortunately it keeps opening on the left, no matter what was the latest position. It is also quite basic, no search/grouping from what I can see. Thanks for your work anyway, I hope it keeps evolving
