Mozilla releases separate test version of Firefox with vertical tabs – Computer – News

What I don’t think any browser has yet is Opera’s old vertical tab display with complete tiles per tab. Where the height is used to show a “preview”. This made it very easy to find tabs because you could simply see the website. I think only Vivaldi has that. Which isn’t surprising, considering it’s from the founder (and original developers?) of Opera

But I never like my switch from classical Opera (before they switched to Chromium) to Vivaldi Real to suit. And therefore a Firefox user for a number of years. But I do miss vertical tabs, including “preview”. Especially on a 4K screen, a lot of empty space in a maximized browser window

Edit:
A quick search, but apparently all screenshots of Opera 12 (the last pre-Chromium based version) have disappeared from the internet. So here’s an even more ancient screenshot of Opera 10: https://cdn.arstechnica.n…2009/08/31/sidethumbs.png
And nowadays it can probably be even better (in addition to more beautiful). Because at that time it was still a fixed display from the top of the page (possibly rendered separately specifically for the preview. So that it would also be rendered a bit more in proportion / for a smaller screen instead of potentially a lot of white space)
