Wider tabs, when many tabs are open
HotCakeX Hi and thanks for the welcome ![]()
Very happy to see that this feature is always available in this new version of Edge. Yeah this help me very much to find my tabs (personally I've less tabs that the screencapture of edge), thanks ![]()
But I always think that Chronium, the base of the project of the new edge, went in the wrong way for the tab bar management. It's not a wish for short-term but more for a long-term. For sure I know that is a huge task but the original version of edge had this scrolling navigation.
I found an old post from 2011 about this. But google have always not change the navigation of the tab bar.

A little thing which can optimise quickly the navigation : we see after the + on the tab bar, there is a little arrow which was the tab menu and it the "big preview of tabs". Why not to use this type of arrow on the tab bar to add a menu where all tabs where listed. That would be very helpful for users which have many tabs. I looked for in flags and nothing about a menu like that to activate ![]()
But for sure, for the long term a reshaped tab bar, would be a a capital gain compared to chrome.
auligeur Apparently it is being developed for Chrome now, although the flag doesn't currently do anything: https://mspoweruser.com/google-chrome-is-almost-ready-to-counter-tab-overload/

borednsecure Hey yeah, I thought I had read somewhere in the past that Chrome was going to add a scrollable tab bar. Still hasn't happened. I imagine that would a Chromium feature and therefore come to Edge too.

Classic Edge UI + Google Chrome engines = the perfect browser
