Safari has vertical tabs natively now. The interesting part is hierarchical tabs



It's the hierarchical tabs that I need. If you are traversing large hypertexts you need to keep track of where you are and where you were.

Middle-clicking to open-in-new-tab together with Tree-Style-Tabs is incredibly useful in this scenario.

You can rapidly open a large number of potentially-interesting links in tabs, and then weed out the ones you don't need just as rapidly. Then wash, rinse, repeat. It's an assembly line approach.


Where does Safari have vertical tabs? I've been using Orion for a while now mainly for that feature, a WebKit browser with well working vertical tabs.


View > Sidebar

On the left, it should show the number of tabs in the current window. If you click on that, it lists the tabs.


That's cool, thanks! But there's no way to hide the normal tab bar, is there?


Not yet but I hope Apple brings it back. It used to be possible
