Serious question. Do people generally use vertical tabs? I work in IT and have seen countless people's screens and browsers in all my years, and not one was using vertical tabs (though one put their start menu at the top).

I use them. My screen has much more horizontal real estate than vertical.

I've switched my setup to vertical tabs (without groups), and I like it quite a lot. It was a bit of a shock to the muscle memory at first, but now I very much prefer this

i have seen a few do it. i don’t get it either.

I use vertical tabs because horizontal tabs use more screen in wide aspect ratios (16:9 or greater) and I want to optimize my screen usage for the actual content, rather than the tabs.
