Popular browsers support tabs. When you have many tabs open, it's hard to
show a meaningful title for each one. An icon takes up less place and is
easier to scan for visually.

- shiomiru 11mo agoI've just tried and when I open a bunch of new tabs, Firefox truncates the "new tab" text to "new" and a Firefox logo. Same thing happens with other titles. (Then at some point it stops truncating and scrolls off the screen.)
- 1718627440 11mo agoThat's true, it's more without the favicon. It is configurable with browser.tabs.tabMinWidth. Not sure if it is configurable elsewhere in the UI, I normally don't bother with that.
