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.
