With the release of Chrome 146, there are 2 things you should be aware of:

Vertical tabs are now natively supported in Chrome \o/. You still have to enable it under chrome://flags/#vertical-tabs and then go to chrome://settings/appearance and toggle 'Tab strip position' to Side. I also think the URL bar and the extensions haven't yet received a finalized position. I am not complaining though - this is solid progress and is still an improvement for those of us that live the vertical-tabs life.

The second feature is for those who like command line agents. chrome-devtools-mcp allows your command line agent to directly access your logged in session of chrome. This comes with the caveat: understand the security stance of your machine before entering the lethal trifecta. This is still a big unlock. I am testing out the boundaries and hope to have an update post on the features and the capabilities soon.
