You are missing out a lot of features in latest chrome for side tab by using 15. there are extensions if you want to try.

They say they will come up with a solution in the future. Side Tabs are pretty much ESSENTIAL for me, and nothing I have tried works as well. Once this Google solution is out I will try it, and if it works for me, then I may upgrade.

The side tab was implemented to solve tab overflow issue. I wouldn't have my hopes up on the solution to come any soon.

this build has a tab overflow implementation

Once it becomes stable, I will give it a go. I always have a full column of tabs 20-30+ and having them up top is ridiculous!

^Chrome had this before in the dev-builds. Not sure how long ago but it was before I switched from Chrome to Firefox which is at least roughly 2 years ago. Switched back to Chrome last week after being annoyed by Firefox locking up at launch and other things.

There seems to be a issue with the bookmarks bar, in my bookmarks bar I have just other bookmarks in the bookmarks bar, before when i would click on it it would fill that whole side with my saved bookmarks and I could scroll through them, in this build which is 21.0.1152.0 all i get is a little pop up at the bottom right corner, so instead of seeing alot of them, i see 1 at a time

Didn't you mention this last time? I really think you need to update your browser. Better security and I think it's faster as well. Don't live in the past man :p

    • You pay just $100 per TB with this rare 4TB PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD deal

      Hello, I have used a few TEAM Group SSDs, USB flash drives, and Micro SDXC cards in the past. They all seemed to work fine. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky

      "just $100 per TB"? Just? Are we trying to make this seem like the new normal? Kinda weird to make it sound like that is not a ridiculously expensive asking price.
    • Major Xbox layoffs may claim South of Midnight developer Compulsion entirely

      The reviews you refer to mean nothing. Where there is no journalism there is no reason to call the gaming media's opinion pieces "reviews". For GP games there is indeed a metric for success - increasing subscriptions. Which turns in revenue. The only circumstance in which subs do not rise when great is being released is a Game Pass system where the company is close to fully saturated with customers in a subscription. However, in that case as the theory goes you spend aplenty in all kind of games - from shady live service cash cows and customer offending agitprop crap in purple colours to robust and entertaining single player games. And keep a solid level of profitability. Ignoring the simply innocuous but mid games MGS has released primarily of the second kind.
    • Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand by Pradeep Viswanathan Thanks to the surge of coding AI agents, GitHub's usage has skyrocketed over the past 12 months. To meet this demand, GitHub started with a plan in October 2025 to increase capacity by 10x. However, by early this year, the company realized that it needed 30x scale. This rapid growth has caused severe strain on the platform's reliability, resulting in several small outages over the past few months. In April, GitHub published a long blog post explaining the steps it is taking to resolve these reliability issues. In the post, the company also confirmed that it is working toward a multi-cloud architecture for better resilience. Today, Business Insider reported that GitHub is turning to Amazon Web Services to help deal with a major surge in AI-driven coding activity. It is important to note that GitHub is still in the process of moving completely to the Azure cloud. The current plan is to move the platform fully to Azure by 2027 so that it can scale better as per developer demand. Therefore, the current decision to utilize AWS might be part of a short-term plan to meet immediate demand. A Microsoft spokesperson confirmed that GitHub is using multiple cloud providers with the following statement: For Microsoft, the decision highlights the operational pressure behind the AI boom. GitHub has to stay reliable for developers at a time when rivals such as Codex, Cursor, Claude Code, and other AI coding tools are gaining attention. And the decision to use AWS for computing capacity seems practical given the circumstances.
