Horizontal tab scrolling is essential; not everyone uses vertical tabs

Previously, I was able to enable horizontal tab scrolling (via brave://flags), which is crucial for my workflow as I often have many tabs open. However, after the recent update, this feature seems to have disappeared. I checked the flags again, and the option is no longer there.

Could you please make it a permanent toggle in the Appearance settings?

Horizontal tab scrolling is a vital accessibility and productivity feature. Please don’t force everyone into the vertical tab workflow.

Thank you for your time and for building a great browser.
