While they've been available in Chromium (and Chromium OS) for quite some time, side tabs only made the jump to Google Chrome in yesterday's update. If you've got a nice, big widescreen monitor on your desktop and you want to shift your tabs from the top to the left edge of your browser, here's how to do it.

Like so many new Chrome features, side tabs are hidden behind a command line flag: --enable-vertical-tabs. As always, if you need help figuring out how to add a flag, have a look at our how-to post!

App tabs and pinned tabs appear at the top of the list and you can still drag and drop to re-order tabs and right-click them to pin, close, duplicate, or reload. As Martin points out over at Ghacks, there's some graphical weirdness when you first activate the switch. Give Chrome a slap by opening a new tab with ctrl+t or simply minimize and restore the window.

Remember, you need to download and install either the Google Chrome dev channel build or a recent Chromium snapshot.
