It's wrong because tabs are not meant to be presented as a small table of contents.
Viewing the same page in landscape mode/bigger screen does show tabs.
Tabs are meant to be presenting only the currently selected option, one reason for that being concise in a constrained environment.
Their tabs implementation does the wrong/opposite thing when it is the most useful (small screen).
Also, it is confusing to have a completely different presentation depending on screen size.
- petepete 5y agoRendering them inline might not be ideal but user research has shown that having more than a couple of tabs on mobile leads to problems. They are exacerbated when the tabs wrap on to multiple lines - or heaven forbid, require horizonal scrolling. From a usability point of view rendering the content online makes sense. It has the added benefit of working well for people who have disabled JavaScript too.
