Option to have the new tab button at the top in vertical tabs mode

willrs

For vertical tabs, please give us the option to have the new tab button at the top of the tab strip. Lots of people have asked for this over the years (Edge users and now Firefox users too https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/discussions/edgeinsiderdiscussions/vertical-tabs-mode-new-tab-button-should-be-fixed-position-at-the-top-of-the-tab/4395114 and here is the Firefox link for this https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/ideas/in-vertical-tabs-add-an-option-to-open-new-tabs-at-the-top-of/idi-p/88898 )

I was curious how many other people wished vertical tabs was mirror flipped so that the new tab button is at the top and wow, this is a very common request/complaint! I can't even link all of them here because there are simply too many
