You don't like the new Safari tabs? Have you tried using your trackpad or mouse wheel to scroll them horizontally?

To me, it's the best solution out of all the browsers. Firefox has a scrolling list, but all the tabs are the same size so they go off the screen. Chrome shrinks tabs down until they're illegible. Safari kind of does both, but you can spread them out in an analog way just by using your mouse. To me, it feels great.




The scrolling is interesting, but it scrunches the tabs on the left as I add them and then I have extra actions to go to the first tab I opened. I see no purpose in this behavior.


Well, it doesn't do that if all your tabs fit in the window, right? It only happens once you run out of space, and at that point you need to do something.


yes, and that something is to scrunch the right side not one tab to the left of the left side. Act like every other program on the platform using tabs.


Oh, I see what you mean. Yeah, that's a bit annoying, and they should probably scrunch on the left, but I think the pros of the new UI outweigh the cons.

Also, the behavior is the same as the previous version of Safari, and Finder, at least, behaves the same way.


the last version of Safari does not act like this.


To my recollection, every new tab was added to a list after the last tab in the window.


yes, and it scrunched them there - now they are still added on the right by scrunched on the left
