    I’ve started using vertical tabs in Firefox as soon as I got the notification. I never thought I would have liked them so much.

    Why are you asking for decent vertical tabs? Are they inferior to some other browser you have in mind?

      I like Arc’s user experience with vertical tabs. They are bigger, easier to organize and they are cleaner. Also, the sidebar toggle is hard to work with, ideally I would prefer the ability to toggle with a shortcut or reveal on hover.

      Aside Arc, Zen browser has a good vertical tab experience.

      Overall, I still main firefox for my personal browser, though it’s UX is still lacking.

        There is a keyboard shortcut. It’s CTRL+ALT+Z for me. Unless you mean something else?

        As for the “reveal on hover”, iirc there was a dismissable message that said it is coming soon.

        If I can share my opinion, they are more than big enough if you toggle the checkbox “optimize for touch screen”. I would have to try Arc or Zen again to understand what you mean.

        The only complaint I have is that I need to hover (or expand) to see the title. It becomes annoying when I’m reading documentation and I end up with multiple tabs with the same icon.

        EDIT: I can’t seem to find the “optimize for touch screen” checkbox anymore, but I’m sure there is something like that somewhere because I enabled it on one of my devices which has a touch screen.

        EDIT 2: the “optimize for touch screen” option can be seen by right clicking the toolbar and choosing “Customize toolbar”. Changing the density to “Touch” (on the bottom) makes these icons bigger.
