Much of the media reporting got this wrong when Google made this change in 2018.
They never promised to "do no evil", and that's become increasingly evident over time.
Disclosure: I have worked for Google in the past, most recently more than 8 years ago now, but I have never been in any way part of Google's policymaking leadership ranks and am certainly not speaking for them here.

OR Vendor and device restricted browser that won't work if you, say, wish to use Windows or Linux (incl android).
So tell me again why I would ever use a browser that lacks functional vertical tabs? Yes, some chrome-based browsers have vertical tabs (brave, others?), but no browser can compare to the functionality of Firefox with Sidebery. Too bad Mozilla doesn't care about Firefox enough to bake it in and trying to turn off the damn horizontal tabs is such a convoluted process.
I'll also note that Safari's implementation of vertical tabs is hilariously bad.
And to those of you who still use horizontal tabs - if you keep more than a handful of tabs open at once, you need to graduate to the clearly superior UX of vertical tabs.
That’s not a hard tradeoff.
Using the internet in any modern capacity can basically be summed up with this phrase. Unless you're running a PinePhone with a browser you compiled yourself, you're throwing stones from a glass house.
