I don’t want a PLAY MUTE PAUSE not even a CLOSE button. Especially NOT when they have their own internal state for then they choose to appear and disappear.
I don’t want to pay attention to them, I don’t want to have to look for them, I don’t want them getting in my way any more.
If I want to close a tab, I middle click it ! I already have global mute controls, I don’t need an extra volume control, I don’t have “tabs making unwanted sounds” problem because I have “Go To Sound Tab” addon installed, so I can easily find any tabs that makes sound and mute it correctly, without a extra, unneeded layer of muting (tab muting, versus app muting versus player muting, that is too many muting options, I don’t want to use tab muting personnally so I want these buttons out of here !)
I don’t want to have to rely on running violentmonkey script engine on top of my already sluggish browser when I barely have 6615 open tabs.
I want to disable the feature at the root, inside firefox, not patch up webpages like dark reader does.
AAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh h!!!
Maybe unrelated but consider vertical tabs, with Sidebery. It’ll let you you scroll through tabs easier and you won’t lose much space for titles due to tabs amount.
I can’t get the hang of vertical tabs, it’s just refusing to enter my muscle memory.
For serious tab management I have this button
And it opens my specially configured Tab Manager Plus, a full page tab manager, which has just, sooo many great feature, including search-as-type and a solid selection system. But for tab switching it’s still the tab bar for me.
