Review Summary
Users appreciate the vertical tabs extension for bringing Firefox-like vertical tabs with auto-hide and search features to Chrome-based browsers, valuing its minimalist design and functionality. However, common issues include lack of support on special Chrome pages, hotkey usability problems, inability to handle grouped tabs, performance slowdown, and the original horizontal tabs remain visible, limiting the vertical workspace improvement.
Pros
- Provides a vertical tab bar similar to Firefox's feature, including auto-hide on mouse enter/leave.
- Supports multiple Chrome-based browsers such as Opera, Vivaldi, Brave, and Yandex Browser.
- Offers functional features like search, dark theme, tab audio muting, and tab closing from the panel.
- The extension is free, open source, and appreciated for its minimalist and compact design.
Cons
- Does not show tab list on special pages like New Tab, Settings, Chrome Web Store, or suspended pages due to Chrome restrictions.
- Hotkeys often do not work or are confusing to use, with difficulty customizing them.
- Tabs in groups do not show up in the vertical tabs list, limiting grouped tab management.
- The extension sometimes causes performance issues like high CPU usage and occasional slowness on startup.
- The vertical tabs do not replace or hide the original top tabs, reducing the vertical workspace gain as expected.
