Notes in May 2026

I started using Chrome’s experimental vertical tabs. They were introduced in early April¹, as a response to the warm reception of similar features in competitors like Arc and Dia.

It’s currently behind a feature flag — enable it at chrome://flags/#vertical-tabs.

The UI feels more compact and the browsing experience more immersive. So far, so good.

Along with this, I’m also trying out pinned tabs for daily-use sites like ChatGPT and GitHub.
