You Can Remix Your Google Chrome Experience With Vertical Tabs and Immersive Reading

The browser is also rolling out a new Reading Mode that makes pages easier to scan and reduces on-screen clutter.

  • On Tuesday, Google announced Chrome users can now enable vertical tabs, moving the tab strip to the side of the browser window alongside a refreshed Reading Mode offering distraction-free, full-page reading.
  • After years of resisting, Google Chrome is adopting vertical tabs, a feature popularized by Arc; rival browsers including Microsoft Edge, Firefox, Vivaldi, and Brave have long offered the capability.
  • Users can right-click any Chrome window and select "Show Tabs Vertically" to enable the feature in the left sidebar, making full page titles visible even when tab count hits double digits.
  • The refreshed Reading Mode now opens pages in full-screen layout instead of a narrow sidebar, allowing users to right-click any page to "Open in reading mode" and customize font, color, and line height.
  • Chrome's vertical tabs feature is rolling out gradually to all markets, remaining the default setting until users change them; Google says the layout optimizes multitasking by keeping open pages organized and accessible.
