Not OP, but I use vertical tabs with Vivaldi.

Pretty happy with it; I tried basically all browsers out there, fully switching to them for some time even if I didn't even like them, and after all that time I found Vivaldi the best overall browser right now (for me).

+1 for Vivaldi, so many options

tried vivaldi and it felt really bloated and clunky to me, atleast compared to zen, is that just how it is or is it much better after configuration?

Vivaldi is clunky and slow because the entire user interface (tab bar, address bar, title bar if enabled, etc) is a webview rather than native-ish controls like all other browsers.

I used it for six months and it had some things I really liked about it, but there were some really frustrating bugs that would pop up each release. I eventually got tired of it and had to move to another browser.

It's a shame, because I like the attitude and spirit behind Vivaldi.
