#Chrome Beta

Google is taking another step toward bringing vertical tabs to Chrome, with the long-requested feature now appearing in the browser’s Beta channel. Vertical tabs are currently hidden behind a flag in Chrome Beta version 145. Users who want to try it out can enable the feature by heading to chrome://flags/#vertical-tabs, setting it to “Enabled,” and restarting the browser. Instead of introducing a brand-new interface, Chrome’s implementation adjusts how Android apps and websites are displayed by prompting them to render in a wider, tablet-style layout. Chrome also appears to be adding another way to access the feature. Some Beta users have spotted a new “Tab strip position” option under Settings > Appearance, offering a more straightforward toggle for moving tabs to the side without relying on flags. Still, the move to Beta suggests Google is refining the experience and preparing it for broader use. Google has not announced when vertical tabs will roll out to the stable version of Chrome, but their arrival in Beta typically indicates that wider availability is only a matter of time.
