I love Tree-Style Tabs, so had to try this out.
For anyone else who had trouble tracking down modern instructions for this:
* Go to about:flags
* Enable Side tabs (first option)
* Restart Chrome
* Right-click on a tab and chose "Use side tabs"
Not a treeview of collapsible tabs, but muchmuchmuch better than normal tab view in Chrome. Thanks for mentioning that they had this.
- petercooper 15y agoWhat version has this? I just tried 12, 13 and 14 (Canary) and I don't have that option. I have "Tab Overview" as the first thing in flags. Is this a Windows only thing, perhaps?
- mason55 15y agoIs this a Windows only thing, perhaps? I believe so, I've been using sidetabs since they were released in Canary one year+ ago and I've never figured out how to get it to work on my Mac
- cbr 15y agoIn osx I had to do: cd /Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS mv "Google Chrome" "Google Chrome Binary" echo '#!/bin/bash exec "${0%/*}/Google Chrome Binary" -enable-vertical-tabs "$@"' > "Google Chrome" chmod ugo+x "Google Chrome" This let me start chrome with the "-enable-vertical-tabs" command line switch. Once it was started I needed to right click a tab and choose "Use Side Tabs".
- jannes 15y agoWouldn't this break after an update?
- andfarm 15y agoProbably worth noting that the vertical tab UI you end up with looks pretty weird (on Mac OS, at least), as it's literally just moving the existing tabs over to the side without changing the graphics at all.
- olifante 15y agoto try it out without making it permanent, just open a Terminal window and enter something like this: /Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome -enable-vertical-tabs
- _harry 15y agoWhile on the subject of about:flags -- Enable 'Tab Overview' if you have a Mac with a trackpad. Three finger swipe down shows all of your tabs like expose.
- te_chris 15y agoThis is my favourite chrome feature! It's so useful that it's convinced me to buy a magic trackpad so I can use this when I'm using the laptop with an external keyboard.
