Google is rolling out two new features for its Chrome browser with the aim of helping you get more done.
The first is an option to see your tabs vertically at the side of your window rather than horizontally at the top. To move your tabs, simply right-click on the Chrome window and choose "Show Tabs Vertically." And just like that, the tabs will appear vertically to the side of your window. This way, you'll be able to read full titles rather than truncated ones, manage tab groups more easily and toggle between 10 or more tabs without losing one.

Browsing Chrome using the standard mode (on the left) will show images, videos and more potentially distracting visuals. Reading mode (on the right) will show only text, reducing distractions.
Google ChromeChrome is also beginning its launch of an improved reading mode with a full-page interface. To access, simply right-click on a page and select "Open in reading mode." This will remove any visual distractions by turning the page into a text-focused interface. Google says this feature is ideal for those who need to focus deeply when working or researching.
While not revolutionary changes to the Chrome browser, these minor updates can add up to help you maximize productivity and streamline your workflow.
