Mozilla released a standalone Firefox Nightly test build recently that includes support for vertical tabs. Here is how it looks.

Never saw the appeal in vertical tabs, but maybe Edge or FF extensions just don't do them well enough... Good for Mozilla though, I guess
For 16:9 (ish) displays you have more pixels left to right than up and down, it makes sense to use up your horizontal space first when placing permanent UI elements on your screen. Still up to preference though.
Agree... Too much screen real estate horizontally, not enough vertically
Especially with the gigantic tab buttons the browser uses by default even in "compact" mode.
The real crime here is the death of full screen monitors. Full screen just works so well for Internet browsing and programming. The switch to widescreen became common because games and movies were becoming more widescreen and that caused them to look smaller on full screen monitors. These days, the problem can be solved by getting extra large full screen monitors. Back then, that was not financially feasible.
God damn, what I wouldn't give to have a 4k 4:3 CRT.
