Earlier this year Microsoft announced it was working on a vertical tab User Interface for Edge. Now it is officially released for Edge Users. The main idea behind the Vertical tabs UI is to give users more control over tabs. The people who have lot of tabs open have finding difficulties in finding the specific tab and also every time while opening a new tab, the tab title is getting shorter so it is very difficult to find the specific tab. And Traditional horizontal layout can be tough to navigate if you have more tabs open that your screen can accommodate. But vertical tabs gives you a scrollable interface with a good amount of space to read the tab title. You can enable the Vertical tab using Edge settings. If you want to disable or restrict users to access the Vertical tab button then this article will guide you to Disable Vertical Tabs in Microsoft Edge.
