+# Vertical Tabs in Safari
+
+2024-09-26
+
+I use Firefox as my main browser (specifically the Nightly build) which has vertical tabs built-in. There are instances where I need to use Safari, such as debugging or testing iOS devices, and in those instances I prefer to have a similar experience to that of Firefox. Luckily, Apple has finally made it fairly straight forward to do so.
+
+1. Click the **Sidebar** icon in the top left of the Safari browser
+2. Right click and group your current tab(s) (I normally name mine something uninspired like "My Tabs" or simply "Tabs")
+3. For an extra "clean look", remove the horizontal tabs by right clicking the top bar, selected **Customize Toolbar** and dragging to tabs out
+
+When everything is set properly, you'll have something that looks like this:

+
+One **minor drawback** is not having access to a direct URL input, since we have removed the horizontal tab bar altogether. Using a set of curated bookmarks could help avoid the need for direct input, along with setting our new tab page to DuckDuckGo or any other search engine.
