Not opposed to this, but why do I want this?

I suppose many responsive sites have a maximum content width that is admittedly a lot smaller than many displays these days. I guess this lets you use a couple more pixels of vertical space by trading the wasted horizontal space.

I have a really wide monitor, so I end up with wasted space on the sides of most websites, so vertical tabs lets me maximize my vertical space on the screen.

If you have lots of tabs up top you can't see the names, vertical tabs lets you see more/all of the tab titles.

I have been using the tree style tabs add-on for years, it's amazing for a tab hoarder.

Nice, that's a good point! I didn't think of that.

Options are always good. Lack of options is bad.
