From whose perspective, though? The new tab button should be really obvious in a production browser, and in Chrome 17 it isn't. If this is a change suggested by the Plus team, it's a bad change.
Usability first.
- pasbesoin 15y agoChrome is being used now by "average people". In addition to her personal use (which I started), my mother's school system newly mandates using Chrome. In addition to her own confusion, add mine when I'm telling her on the phone to look for the "plus" icon at the right, and it's no longer there. I've had similar issues with Google's Calendar product UI, for example. They just change it, and adopt non-standard and to my mind often rather unobvious controls -- users be damned. (I won't start on my parents' use of Android phones...) TL;DR: You want market share, you'd better make sure that market can figure you out.
