the feature enables users to use horizontal tabs as well as the tree-style tabs at the same time.
this feels useful mostly for heavy horizontal tabs users just like me who sometimes want to have an easier way to visualize the relationships between each tab to locate a certain tab but don't want to leave the sidebar open all the time.
You can use the menu item View->Show/Hide Vertical Tabs Sidebar to quickly toggle between vertical and horizontal tabs. You can also assign it a custom shortcut.
Would also like this option. I don't want to necessarily switch between the two; I usually use the browser without the sidebar, and find the horizontal tabs understandably helpful. But sometimes I want to open the sidebar and see my tabs in a vertical layout as well, at the same time, in order to quickly switch between some distant tabs, or just to see what I have open etc. in the convenient vertical layout. But I don't want to have to enter multiple shortcuts (open sidebar –> switch horizontal to vertical –> switch back to horizontal –> close sidebar) in order to take advantage of both functionalities, which present different opportunities but also different limitations and in my opinion work best in tandem. There should just be a third option in the little menu: "Use Horizontal Tabs", "Use Vertical Tabs", "Use both Horizontal and Vertical Tabs".
Yes, animation is laggy. that is a separate issue though, and i believe has been reported already. is the solution I proposed a valid fix? If so, we can close this.

Working with multiple tabs – use the vertical tab sidebar to see what is open and go to a 'distant' tab, while using the horizontal tabs to switch between a few tabs you're using right now that are near to each other.

I am against having tabs in two places at the same time, as it visually confusing and can lead to weird situations.
Iinstead should be easier to show tab tree (aka vertical tabs) perhaps with a keyboard shortcut?
