On Vertical vs Horizontal Tab Hot Takes

Manuel Moreale published a blog post on the vertical vs horizontal tabs debate. But instead of choosing a side in what is ultimately an inconsequential debate, he made the case for nuance, or asking “better based on what?” I agree in full. I use vertical tabs on desktop (two 1920×1080 monitors) because (1) I prefer the set up and (2) I keep my task bar on top of the screen, which makes horizontal tabs awkward. However, I prefer horizontal tabs on my laptop. In deciding whether to use vertical or horizontal browser tabs, or any other tech decision of similarly monumental importance, consider your own set-up and use-case instead of following the latest out-of-context hot take.
