Google Chrome has upgraded the browser with support for vertical tabs and a new interface for reading mode.
Google Chrome: Vertical tabs
The new vertical tabs appear in a sidebar instead of at the top of the browser. The tab layout can be changed by right-clicking on any Chrome window and selecting “Show Tabs Vertically.” Tabs in the sidebar feature full page titles and make it easy to organize groups of tabs.

The introduction of new tabs is particularly useful for users who manage a large number of tabs at the same time, as it allows for better visual organization and access to the tabs.
Changes to Reading Mode
Additionally, Google has added a new full-page interface for reading mode. Right-clicking on a web page and selecting “Open in reading mode” will remove any distractions and launch a full-page viewing experience, instead of the current side panel default.
Google says the two new features are starting to roll out to the desktop version of Chrome starting today, so they should be available to all users soon.

The two features are just a few of the many improvements Google plans to add to Chrome in the future. Users can expect more updates and new features that will enhance the browsing experience and make Chrome an even more powerful tool for everyday use.
