Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
With vertical tabs enabled, the close buttons of the tabs are always towards the side of webpage content. If the tabs bar is on the left side, the close buttons are on the right side, and if the tabs bar is on the right side, the close buttons are on the left side. IMO this is a faux pass regarding UI design, as the close buttons should always be further away from the content, so that you cannot accidentally click them. Usually you move your mouse from the page content to the tab bar to select another tab, and then you always have to take care that you move far enough into the tab to not accidentally hit the close button. It is especially dangerous when the tab bar is on the right side, since the close buttons are then very close to the scroll bar, and if you want to click-hold on the scroll bar to rapidly move down the content (yes, sometimes I do that), the risk of accidentally hitting a tab's close button is very high.
When the tab bar is on the right (my preferred position), then it is also not consistent with the close button of the tab bar itself, as this close button is on the right, whereas the close buttons of the tabs are on the left. This looks a bit awkward.
Describe the solution you'd like
Move the close buttons to the opposite directions. They should be left, when the tab bar is on the left and right, when the tab bar is on the right. Or make that behavior configurable.
Additional context
Kudos for the vertical tabs feature, I like it very much :)!
