DoYouWantaHug (ID: 000000054531d6d8) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 07/16/2023 It works and I like it. 7,5/10 stars, if you rate it with the hug scale. Why? + functionality + full screen mode + idea - miss an url bar above the + sign for a new tab. - miss short cuts to fade in and fade out the whole unit - miss the option to fade out it completely (watching movies in fullscreen) - miss the option to hide the horizonal tabs. Why I should use the vert tabs, if I cant hide the horizontal standard chrome tabs :/ You know? But all in all its a very nice extension and I would use it, if you would implement the above written things.

Bree Vwhyman (ID: 0000008647febb7f) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/22/2022 This EXTENSION is working very well for me...........30 or more tabs in OPERA ver 89 and no problems at all. It seems to be the most smooth of these type of EXTENSIONS (vertical tabs) thanks very much for your free extension which i hope can remain functional i set it's setting to ONE........so it's almost totally HIDDEN on the right side of screen. (which makes sense to me) Thanks. ps ........can't understand why Vertabs is'nt switched ON as it's beginning point. ? (it's default state as being ON from the very outset ) ? Please fix that if you are agreed. thx.
