Google seems to have come to its senses. While most alternatives to Chrome already had it, the world’s most used browser has started implementing native support for vertical eyelashes. This is a feature that users of competitors like Microsoft Edge, Brave, Firefox or Vivaldi They have been enjoying it for a long time and it had become one of the most relevant shortcomings of Chrome.

This novelty has been discovered by Windows Report in the latest version of Chrome Canary for desktop, the testing environment where the company experiments with features before their global launch. The change seeks to solve the readability problem that arises when many pages are opened simultaneously, at which point the top tabs become so small that it is impossible to identify their content.

How the new side panel works

According to preliminary tests, the integration is simple and, above all, optional. Users who have this trial version can activate the new design by right-clicking on the traditional tab bar, selecting the new option Show tabs aside. Doing so immediately moves the navigation to a left sidebarwhere the pages are stacked vertically showing the full title.

Regarding the distribution of the interface, Google has chosen to place the tab search tool and the button to collapse the panel in the upper area. On the other hand, the functions to manage the tab groups and the button to open a new page have been relocated to the bottom of the column. If the user does not adapt to this change, the system allows you to revert it by selecting Show tabs on top in the context menu. Then everything goes back to normal.

It is important to highlight that, as this is a function in development within the Canary channel, the experience It’s not completely polished yet. and could present performance differences compared to the mature implementation that other browsers already have. This novelty joins many others that Google has been implementing in its browser, with the recent integration of Google Lens.
