I'm curious as to how you see this as a browser specific setting please?
Which browser does it affect, or is better suited to?

 The horizontal layout is the only setting that makes sense cross-browser.

I'm not a developer, so please explain.

I see this as user ui preference, like having your task bar up or down or
left.  Or your bookmarks bar displayed or not ( and no-one calls that an os
preference).

Thanks.

update.  This is no different than changing CSS or template files, FWIW.
