Do you keep browser tabs open? I do. Sometimes dozens of them. Modern browsers show tabs with thumbnails or shortened titles. This looks nice, but it's hard to find what you need when you have many tabs. Why not organize them into groups? That won't work. If I could organize things, I wouldn't have so many tabs open in the first place. Vertical shows your tabs in a simple list with full titles. Find the tab you need by searching. This browser is not for complex web apps. It's for: - Quick daily searches - Saving articles to read later That's what Vertical is made for.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Vertical at Free against LiT Browser's $0.99. LiT Browser's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 3 weeks). On in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
