Horizontal tabs, resembling traditional file tabs, are used for organizing and navigating content. They present different sections or categories of information in a compact, horizontal row, allowing users to switch between them easily. Each tab acts as a clickable header, displaying the relevant content in the space below.

They are ideal for situations requiring a clean, accessible way to separate content. For example, a news website might use horizontal tabs to categorize news by type: Local, International, Sports, and Entertainment.
