That's a completely emotional response. "It makes the tab bar completely unusable" -- maybe the problem is with the tab bar, not the user. What if browsers were designed for the lots-of-tabs use case? Perhaps if effort was put into it, we could come up with some good solutions. I would bet that there's a not-insignificant number of users who have heaps of tabs open.
- lfowles 11y agoYup, widescreen monitor, I moved my tabs over to the left side on Firefox and use a tree view extension. Tabs on top is definitely not for power (tab) users.

- Spivak 11y ago> I should change my behavior to conform to the limitations of my software, instead of changing the software to fit my behavior. If people want thousands of tabs then let's help them do that instead of shaming them.
