Zhou Dong (ID: 000000d86ed7907a) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/09/2023 Look good to me. Hope if we can have some options to adjust the visual interface. Because I feel the default visual of each tab is too big (the height and spacing, is not compact)

Anna Neuhaus (ID: 00000034d497bbea) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/23/2023 Fantastic, great design and features. I love that one can sort based on last time used.

Greg M (ID: 000000ad9751cc9b) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 08/09/2023 Unless I've missed the setting (I've looked), there's no way to pin the vertical tabs display to stay open?? That's a fail. Who wants to have to click a button in order to see one's tabs? Not me.

Ebrahim (ID: 0000007e0b8a80ac) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 05/18/2023 the only working vertical tabs exension on Chrome. here are some feature suggestions for this already great tool. - ability to Keep the last search term visible when clicking and opening tabs list again. - highlight duplicate tabs in a more distinctive color such as yellow or red (rather than currently blue color) - for tab sorting add an unsorted mode, so that the tabs from current window will be listed first on top of the list with the same order of open tabs in current window, and then comes tabs from other windows, and each window will be separated from other windows with a colored separator line. - highlight and prefarably automatically scroll to the currently active tab in the list.
