Google Developer Says Chrome Team is Working on a Scrollable Tabstrip For the Browser (techdows.com)

If you're a tab-hoarder, and you use Chrome browser, Google may have some news for you soon. The company is working on a scrollable tabstrip to make it easier for users to navigate through tabs, a developer was quoted as saying. Peter Casting, who works on Chrome UI, said, "scrollable tabstrip is in the works. In the meantime, try shift-clicking and ctrl-clicking to select multiple tabs at once, then drag out to separate Windows to group tabs by Window." TechDows, which first reported the development: We're expecting this as the related bug, the 'UI: tab overflow' bug created 10 years back, reports opening too many tabs causes add tab button (+) to disappear and tabs do not scroll then, the expected result has been mentioned as 'scrollable tabs.'

Put tabs on the side

[CastrTroy]

I want an option to put tabs on the side, along the left or right. We all have widescreen monitors, but very few pages actually need the full width of the monitor. We should have the option of putting tabs vertically along the side of the monitor to make more efficient use of space.
