Review Summary
Users appreciate VerticalTabs for its stable, efficient tab management and simplicity, especially with many open tabs and the ability to customize the look. However, multiple reviewers note that it functions as a dropdown rather than a permanent sidebar, limiting visibility. The extension’s vertical size controls are insufficient, causing scrolling difficulties. Some desired features like URL display, tab counters, and copying URLs are missing. Occasional bugs with tab display and search functionality also diminish user experience. Overall, it is valued for its reliability but could benefit from enhanced features and better UI sizing.
Pros
- Provides a convenient vertical list or dropdown of tabs helping with tab management especially when many tabs are open.
- Stable and reliable over the years compared to alternatives, with good product design and maintenance.
- Allows moving, closing tabs easily and has customizable appearance such as colors.
- Helps manage tabs efficiently and is beneficial for productivity.
- Faster performance and less resource usage compared to other tab management extensions.
Cons
- Does not provide a permanent sidebar showing vertical tabs; instead a dropdown menu appears which can be inconvenient.
- Popup height or vertical size is limited and lacks options like ‘fit to screen height’, causing excessive scrolling with many tabs.
- Lack of features such as showing URLs along with tab titles, tab counters for all windows, and a button to copy URLs.
- Occasional issues with not showing all open tabs or operational problems after updates.
- Search functionality has issues especially with certain input methods and lacks advanced search features like exact phrase search.
