Which is why it makes it so strange that no browser designers seem to get that the way to go is to stack tabs in a vertical list instead of horizontally. It would use more space but the space is in less demand so it wouldn't matter anyhow. So until the browser designers get a clue I will be stuck with Firefox and the Treestyle tabs plugin which is the least horrible solution for people that use a lot of tabs.

Vivaldi does what you’re asking for, natively without plugins.

I've tried tree style tabs a few times but it always ends up being too much. The implementations of vertical tabs I've liked best so far are OmniWeb's (perhaps one of the original vertical tab browsers), Edge's, and Firefox with Tab Center Redux and custom CSS to hide Firefox's frustrating mandatory sidebar header.

I know of at least Edge and Vivaldi that do it. Granted, it seems that nobody at the Edge team thought of actually giving the vertical space used by the horizontal tab bar back once you flip to vertical tabs mode, but the feature itself is there.

If you are on Mac and want to try a new WebKit based browser, Orion comes with native vertical tabs. https://browser.kagi.com https://browser.kagi.com

  Just so you're aware, I believe the form validation on your beta signup sheet is messed up. I'm unable to submit the form under Safari and Chrome.

OmniWeb, back in the early days of OS X, did that. They used the drawer concept. I really loved that. All my tabs (with mini pictures of them) were on side, which made them easy to see and didn't take up vertical space. (OmniWeb was a great browser in other ways).

  Did you know you can download OmniWeb for modern Macs (they resumed development late last year)?

Microsoft edge has the option for vertical tabs, at least on Windows.
