[Tip] Hide or Remove “Tab Actions Menu” Button from Tab bar in Microsoft Edge

Newer versions of Microsoft Edge web browser (version 91 and later) come with a new “Tab Actions Menu” icon or button which is shown at the left-side corner of the tab bar or title bar.

Actually the “Tab Actions Menu” button is not a new addition. Microsoft has renamed the previous “Vertical Tabs” button to “Tab Actions Menu” and also added following 3 items under the new menu:

• Turn on vertical tabs
• Recently closed
• Add all tabs to a new collection

So the previous Vertical Tabs button has now become a dedicated menu called “Tab Actions Menu”.

If you don’t want to use the new “Tab Actions Menu” button and find it unnecessary, you can hide or remove the extra button from the title bar to get some free space.

Fortunately, Microsoft allows users to get rid of the “Tab Actions Menu” button in Microsoft Edge.

Following methods will help you in removing or disabling new “Tab Actions Menu” button or icon from title bar in Microsoft Edge browser:

METHOD 1:

Open Microsoft Edge and right-click on Tab Actions Menu button in toolbar and select “Hide from toolbar” option from context menu. It’ll immediately hide the button in the toolbar.

METHOD 2:

Alternatively, you can remove the Tab Actions Menu button using Microsoft Edge Settings page as described in following steps:

1. Open Microsoft Edge browser and click on the 3-dots menu button present at the right-side of the toolbar. Now select Settings option from the main menu.

Alternatively, you can press ALT+F keys together to show Edge Menu and then press S key to open Settings page. You can also directly open Edge Settings page using edge://settings/ URL in address bar.

2. Now click on Appearance tab in left sidebar and in right-side pane, you’ll see Customize toolbar section.
