How to Add or Remove Vertical Tabs Button on Toolbar in Microsoft Edge Chromium
Microsoft has adopted the Chromium open source project in the development of Microsoft Edge on the desktop to create better web compatibility. This new Microsoft Edge runs on the same Chromium web engine as the Google Chrome browser, offering you best in class web compatibility and performance.
The new Chromium based Microsoft Edge is supported on all versions of Windows 7, Windows 8.1, Windows 10, Windows Server (2016 and above), Windows Server (2008 R2 to 2012 R2), and macOS.
It's easy to end up with a ton of tabs open. The more you have open, the more difficult it becomes to find, switch between, and manage them. With vertical tabs, you can easily shift to view your tabs in a pane to the side. This allows you to easily see the titles and access controls like mute and close. It even makes it easy to reorder your tabs, with the ability to drag and drop to rearrange. When you want to focus on a specific page, you can collapse the pane. Anytime you need to switch between tabs, you can hover over the pane to see all the information you need. The new Microsoft Edge is the only browser to offer built-in vertical tab navigation allowing for a more streamlined experience.
Starting with Microsoft Edge version 87.0.654.0 for some, you can now add or remove the vertical tabs button on the toolbar.
Starting with Microsoft Edge Canary version 91.0.863.0, a new Tab actions menu button on the toolbar has been added to replace the Vertical Tabs button.
This tutorial will show you how to add or remove the vertical tabs button on the toolbar in the Chromium based Microsoft Edge.
