Chips vs Checkboxes inside Dropdowns for Filtering Search?

There are hundreds of filter tags to choose from. Since these tags are an unexpected feature for the user, they must be easily seen. I plan on giving them a Search Bar. Additionally, for most popular tags, I plan on having chips beneath the search bar (for ten chips) in a horizontal slider. Is this the best option, or should I display a vertical list of fully visible tag options to choose from?
