Hi Martyn, Thanks for all the work you've done on the tabs tray. Unfortunately I'm not a big fan of the changes. Some of the problems I have:
1) Most page titles are truncated now, which makes it very difficult to switch tabs if you have several open to the same website (Amazon, for instance). The thumbnails are too similar. 2) Swiping away in a grid is weird. In a stacked list it makes more sense, with the analogy being crossing off a todo item. 3) Before, if I had a bunch of tabs open that I wanted to close, I could easily swipe them all away. Maybe it's just me, but that seems harder now. 4) Who is using the 'X' to close a tab? That thing is tiny. When I've tried to use it, I fat-fingered the tab and ended up selecting it instead. Do you think we have solutions to any of these?
