Make a scrollable tabs bar for Chromium Edge like Firefox

Copper Contributor

Hi! Dear Developers,

 

Have you ever use Firefox? It have a scrollable tabs bar. In Chrome before version 37, there was a flag named stacked-tab-strip in desktop version. But now it only works in mobile version.

 

I hope Microsoft Edge Team can add this function. I need it very much. If I open 30 tabs in Edge, I can not get any useful information from tab bar which is blank or just show the icon in a little space with same width.

 

I am not an English native speak. So I give some website to let you know what I mean:

Thank you.

Best wishes!

It is a nice feature, when I tried Vivaldi it had this feature too and it's also a Chromium based browser.

@Dealtz_Symsisx Yup. Edge could have min tab width parameter in setting after which tab scrolling could start.

Yeah, classic Edge also has this feature and it's awesome! I really hope Microsoft will implement it on Chromium Edge too!

Thank you all for the feedback! We've heard about this from others too, so I looped back with the product team. It sounds like while there are some complicating factors, they are investigating different options for improving the tab management experience.
