Vertical Tabs

This has nothing to do with books. It just interests me. You have been warned and can stop reading if you’re not interested.

I use Edge as a browser (mostly; I still use Chrome for Google maps and translate). Recently, they added a new feature: vertical tabs. So, questions:

Is anyone using them?Why?What’s the point?

The last one may need clarification. I tried out vertical tabs. For those unaware, this takes the tabs out of the title bar and puts them in a vertical strip down the right side of the window. So, what this does is make the viewing window for your web page smaller. As far as I can tell, you gain nothing. Can anyone tell me why you would want to use this feature? I just can’t see it. With the tabs in the title bar they effectively take up no space. Is it to do with wanting several hundred tabs open at once? Help!

Rb42redsuns Could be for those who like reading top-down instead of right to left or left to right...dunno. Could also be MS just screwing around so they can claim they've "updated".

A preference for vertical lists makes more sense than anything else I've come up with. I guess someone must've asked for it...
