Can Chrome Hide the Horizontal Tab Bar? Browser Tab Bar Hiding Support

Chrome and most browsers without native vertical tabs cannot hide the horizontal tab bar at the top.

This is a browser design limitation that extensions cannot change.

Why Can't the Horizontal Tab Bar Be Hidden?

Chrome's top tab bar is a core UI component. Since Chrome doesn't support native vertical tabs:

• •Extensions cannot hide or remove the top tab bar
• •Extensions cannot replace the native tab bar
• •This is a browser architecture design limitation, unrelated to extensions
