Tabs should shrink until some (critical) point and then become scrollable.

Here is an improvement for Scollable Tabs:

Tabs should shrink until some (critical) point and then become scrollable.
This is how it works in Firefox:

You can open >20 tabs and all of them are visible (depends on the monitor size), if you want more tabs, they become scrollable.

The amount of shrinking should be customized like the Active Tab Minimum Width option in the Settings.

@nekomajin yea, there could be a such setting, we already have name for it: Tab Event Horizon

This is useful feature too if one have tab thumbnail enabled for vertical tabbar.

Sorry, I know this is a horizontal tabbar topic, but vertical tabbar can use some love from the v team as well.

@elitre

Why scrolling 50 tabs?

Do you have this settings?:

[dude99]

@elitre if you consistently browsing with 50+ tabs, try vertical tabbar or the Window panel instead. Horizontal tabbar aren't really suitable in managing large amount of tabs.

If you think vertical tabbar taking too much screen space when you don't need it, you can try CSS mod that add autohide/shrink function to ver tabbar: https://forum.vivaldi.net/post/365881

I mean, that's great if you like that (and have a nice wide screen), but not everyone does. I personally just... can't get used to using a sidebar for finding my tabs, and it also isn't as useful in my opinion for CLOSING a bunch of them once they're open. I'll admit though, the tiled previews from tab stacking is super useful and probably the best way to find stuff I've seen with the horizontal bar. Still, if you have a bunch of different tab groups, you still need either scrolling (which doesn't work well with a mouse, for some reason) or to show more of them at once via shrinking... and you can't currently do both at once, or have it transfer as one becomes more useful than the other.
