Vertical Tabs for Google Chrome™

Free! Easily manage and present your tabs vertically.

Vertical Tabs for Google Chrome™ — completely rebuilt Too many tabs? Stop squinting at tiny, unreadable tab strips. Vertical Tabs moves your open tabs into a clean, full-height side panel where you can actually read every title, find anything in seconds, and keep your work organized. This is a ground-up rewrite that makes the extension faster, more reliable, and far more powerful — and it’s completely free, with no account and no sign-up. WORKS ON EVERY PAGE, EVERY TIME The old version relied on injecting a list into the web page, so it would vanish on the New Tab page, the Chrome Web Store, PDFs, and many other screens. The new version lives in Chrome’s native side panel, so your tab list is always there — on regular sites, chrome:// pages, the New Tab page, PDFs, and more. It stays in sync as you open, close, move, pin, and switch tabs, and it no longer “stops working” after the browser has been idle. Clicking a tab’s title now switches to it on the first try. INSTANT SEARCH Press “/” or click the search box and start typing to filter every open tab by title or web address. Hit Enter to jump straight to the first match. Finding that one tab among dozens is now instant. TAB GROUPS, FULLY SUPPORTED Your Chrome tab groups appear right in the panel with their colors and names. Collapse and expand groups with a click to tidy up long lists, and see how many tabs each group holds at a glance. Drag a tab into a group to add it, or out to remove it. PINNED TABS, FRONT AND CENTER Pinned tabs are kept neatly at the top so your most important sites are always one click away. WORKSPACES — SAVE AND RESTORE YOUR TABS This is the feature power users have been asking for. Save the current set of tabs as a named workspace and bring it back any time — in the current window or a brand-new one — with pinned tabs and tab groups recreated automatically. Rename or delete workspaces in a click. It’s perfect for switching between projects, clients, or “work” and “personal” without losing your place. Everything is stored locally on your device. RECENTLY CLOSED — UNDO MISTAKES Closed a tab by accident? The Saved view lists your recently closed tabs and windows so you can reopen them with a single click. ALL YOUR WINDOWS AT ONCE Turn on the all-windows view to see and manage tabs across every open Chrome window, neatly grouped under window headers. Click any tab to jump straight to it — the right window comes forward automatically. DRAG TO REORDER Reorder tabs by dragging them up and down the list, with clear drop indicators. Pinned tabs stay pinned, and dropping a tab next to a group adds it to that group. QUICK ACTIONS ON HOVER Hover any tab for instant controls: mute or unmute audio, pin or unpin, duplicate, and close. Tabs that are playing sound show a live audio indicator, so you can finally find that one noisy tab and silence it in a second. Middle-click closes a tab, just like the regular tab strip. BEAUTIFUL, CUSTOMIZABLE DESIGN A modern, refined interface that feels at home in Chrome. Choose Light, Dark, or “match system” themes. Pick Comfortable or Compact density to fit more tabs on screen, and toggle page URLs under each title on or off. Real favicons are shown for every site, with tidy colored fallbacks when a site has none. KEYBOARD SHORTCUT Open and close the panel instantly with Ctrl+Shift+E (Cmd+Shift+E on Mac), or just click the toolbar icon. PRIVATE BY DESIGN We trimmed the permissions the extension asks for and removed the old page-injection approach entirely. Vertical Tabs does not collect, transmit, or sell your data. Your settings and saved workspaces stay on your own device. No account, no tracking, no nonsense. SPEAKS YOUR LANGUAGE The interface is fully translated into 40 languages, including Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch, Russian, Ukrainian, Polish, Turkish, Arabic, Hebrew, Hindi, Japanese, Korean, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), and many more — with full right-to-left support. FAST AND LIGHTWEIGHT The panel updates smoothly even with a hundred-plus tabs open, keeps your scroll position as things change, and automatically scrolls the active tab into view. A NOTE ON COMPATIBILITY Built for Chromium browsers — Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Brave. Like every extension, Vertical Tabs cannot hide Chrome’s built-in horizontal tab strip; for the cleanest look, pair it with Chrome’s own compact/collapsed tab strip and dock the panel on whichever side you prefer. Free forever. Install Vertical Tabs and take control of your tabs today. If it makes your day a little easier, we’d be grateful for a rating and a review — it genuinely helps.
