Yes, it's really needed. |

That is a good request. However the main purpose of this button is to use it with the mouse. With horizontal tabs "New tab" button is located next to the bookmark bar and it's very convenient click on it and then select the page from bookmarks. With vertical tabs location of "New tab" at the bottom of tabs list is a total disaster. The current request makes it 50% better, I think. My proposal is to place "New tab" button just under the bar with "Minimize tabs" and "Search tabs" buttons:
In this case mouse experience with vertical tabs will be very close to that with horizontal tabs with minimum mouse movements. We even can put "New tab" button between "Minimize tabs" and "Search tabs" buttons and save one line for tabs:
But in this case we won't have "+" for new tab when tabs are minimized. And the proposal with "New button" at the top is much easier to implement than at the bottom of the tab list with jumping out of it when tab list is full and scrolling. |
Description
In vertical tabs mode, the
New Tab buttonis fixed to the bottom left of the browser. To match horizontal tabs mode and other vertical tab mode implementations in other browsers, theNew Tab buttonplacement should be right below the last tab in the vertical tabs list.There should be a separator between the last tab in the vertical tabs mode list and the
New Tab button.When the vertical tabs mode list is full and requires a scroll, the
New Tab buttonshould then be fixed at the bottom left of the screen like the current implementation.Steps to reproduce
