Bring the same Tab Previews/Thumbnails from Edge legacy to the new Edge (Chromium)

that was the best design you guys did.

other browsers are trying to mimic and copy Edge legacy, such as Chrome and Vivaldi.

HotCakeX I agree 100%. Chromium Edge's lack of those two features was why I delayed switching to it as my primary browser for so long. I used them extensively and I still find tab management in other browsers cumbersome by comparison. Adding legacy Edge's tab preview features into Chromium Edge has always been at the top of my wish list.

This should also entail a scrolling tab list. Having to click, tap or hover on a tiny little favicon when you have lots of tabs open is pretty ridiculous. There needs to be a minimum tab width like in legacy Edge. 🙂

yes a scrollable tabstrip is really great. previously on Edge, there was a flag with the same name, it never worked, and eventually they removed it.

  The scrollable tabstrip is in TabView but Edge's tabscrip was never updated to use it.
  You can see in the TabView in XAML Controls Gallery.
