And not an IDE like VSCode, but a fully customizable IDE. It's so frustrating to yearn for basic features in VSCode only to be ignored for years. For example, on macOS, a good amount of space is wasted because we can't hide the menu/title bar. We can't customize tabs either. No vertical tabs like Edge. No tabs height customization. It's either their way or the highway. A gripe with Brave: Why doesn't the mouse-over f…

VS Code has always had vertical tabs. It actually launched without horizontal tabs support and only added it due to community pressure. The reason was that VS Code/Monaco was originally designed to run in the browser, and the VS Code team wanted to avoid having a "tabs within tabs" UI.

That’s just factually wrong.

The crypto wallet video ad in the middle of the article is intrusive and frankly infuriating, especially when there is no video illustrating the lifecycle of the new vertical tabs.

That's Brave for you. The founder is a crypto nut, and the browser is adware (shows ads itself instead of merely rendering ads on third party websites).

If you think this is awesome you should check out a browser a friend of mine is building called Horse (yes, called “horse”)

https://browser.horse/

The reason I like it is that he’s unified tabs and bookmarks almost, it’s a great UX that looks like some things you might have seen but still feels different.

He’s also got wicked design sense — but I’m biased so. I also feel like I’m doing him a disservice — he’s got one of those silly lifetime deals going right now.

I'm curious but somewhat discouraged by the lack of a single screenshot. I don't want to install a minimalist browser that won't have extension capability and a lot of other features just to see if I like one thing that it does.

I can't tell if this is a joke or not. Your comment is completely earnest, but the website seems to be a send up of websites that don't tell you anything about the product.
