After adding vertical tab support to its Chromium-based browser earlier this year, Microsoft is currently working on a new update for Edge that will allow users to resize the vertical tab panel.
While horizontal tabs have long been the standard way to have multiple websites open in other browsers, Edge’s vertical tabs are fast becoming a popular alternative as they allow users to make better use of space. the screen on your laptop or monitor and this is especially true of ultrawide monitors.
When Microsoft first updated Edge with vertical tabs, it added a button to allow users to access the vertical tabs user interface and switch between horizontal or vertical tabs on the fly. However, at that time, users were unable to resize the layout.
However, in the next Edge update, it appears that Microsoft is adding support for resizable vertical tabs. This means that users will be able to resize the vertical tab panel by clicking and dragging the panel. If you want to test this feature now, you can do so by downloading Edge’s Canary, Dev, or Beta build.
Sleeping tabs
Microsoft also introduced another feature in Edge version 89 called sleeping tabs. Since open browser tabs can hog memory and other system resources, this feature puts tabs to sleep after they have been inactive for a couple of hours.
With sleep tabs enabled, tabs that are put to sleep will appear dark or discolored compared to other open tabs. If you hover over a discolored tab, an “inactive tab” alert will also appear, and when you click the alert, the tab will reload a web page without losing any data.
However, some users are not very satisfied with discolored tabs, which is why Microsoft is currently testing a new experimental flag that will allow them to turn off animation without disabling the sleeping tabs feature.
If you haven’t tried Chromium-based Edge on your Windows 10 PC yet, now is the time to do so, as Microsoft is constantly adding new features to your browser in an effort to get users to switch to Edge.
