About Vertical Tabs

Vertical Tabs gives you a cleaner way to manage open Chrome tabs from the browser side panel. Instead of scanning a crowded horizontal tab bar, open the side panel to view your tabs in a vertical list. Search tabs, switch between them, close tabs, organize tab groups, drag tabs to reorder them, and use quick actions like duplicate, pin, mute, reload, and move to a new window. Vertical Tabs is built for users who keep many tabs open and want faster tab navigation without changing website content. Key Features: • View open tabs in Chrome’s side panel • Search tabs by title or URL • Click any tab to activate it • Close tabs directly from the side panel • Create a new tab from the panel • Drag and drop tabs to reorder them • View and manage Chrome tab groups • Collapse and expand tab groups • Create a new tab inside a group • Change tab group colors • Ungroup tabs or close an entire group • Move a tab or group to a new window • Duplicate, reload, pin, or unpin tabs • Close duplicate tabs • Close other tabs or tabs below • Sort tabs by title • Mute or unmute individual audible tabs • Mute all tabs or unmute all tabs • Compact view option • Supports light and dark browser themes • Keyboard shortcut to open the side panel: Alt+B • Local settings saved in your browser • No website content access needed How to Use: 1. Install Vertical Tabs. 2. Click the extension icon in the Chrome toolbar. 3. The Vertical Tabs side panel will open. 4. Use the search box to find tabs quickly. 5. Click a tab to switch to it. 6. Drag tabs to reorder them. 7. Right-click a tab for actions like reload, duplicate, pin, mute, close, or move to a new window. 8. Click or right-click a tab group badge to manage group actions. 9. Use the menu to enable compact view, close duplicates, sort tabs, or mute/unmute all tabs. Tab Group Controls: Vertical Tabs supports Chrome tab groups. You can collapse groups, create new tabs inside a group, change group color, ungroup tabs, close a group, or move a group to a new window. Privacy Friendly: Vertical Tabs runs locally in your browser. Based on the current extension files, it does not collect personal information, does not read webpage content, does not inject scripts into websites, does not track browsing activity, and does not send data to an external server. The extension only uses Chrome tab information such as tab title, URL, favicon, active state, pinned state, muted state, and group information to display and manage tabs in the side panel.
