1 year ago I think that instead of "squeezing" tabs in view — subsequently making each open tab smaller/thinner, which makes it harder and harder to access/use specific tabs — it may look better and be more efficient to simply add a tab "scroller" of some kind. Perhaps just two small arrows for each direct that when clicked or clicked and held, scrolls down the list of tabs (silly mock example below):
These arrows would only need to be displayed once the browser reaches a certain threshold of open tabs.

Description
Once there's 120+ tabs open, new ones open to the right, but there's no visual indication and if the active tab is at index >120, it's not highlighted on the tab bar, because it's not visible there at all.
This resembles the behavior of Firefox a bit, but Firefox makes it clear that a new tab was opened and that there are tabs to the right that aren't currently visible.
Personally, I don't like the ff behavior, even when it works correctly, and would just like to have the old behavior back (keep opening tabs and squeezing existing ones on the tab bar to fit).
