I have an ultrawide monitor, so I ALWAYS have the taskbar vertical on a side. It makes zero sense to have it at the bottom.

I’ve been wondering this for YEARS. Why the fuck are we wasting SO MANY PIXELS on the long side? I’m not opening more apps… They started stacking windows under one “app” icon… So I’m using even LESS space. I don’t need to waste 75x3440 (5% of the monitor space) pixels on this shit. I’d rather waste 75x1440(2%). Because everything I do fits in that space fine.
