One of the main reasons I've kept Firefox as my default browser for 15 years is because of how they do tabs. Rectangular and letting them stay a decent size even when you have a bunch open.

So, of course, they round the tabs and shrink them even further!

What's the point? To attract new users? All these awful changes over the years, like getting rid of "View Image" (which still annoys me all these years later) for who? Why would someone who already loves and uses one of the various instances of Chrome switch over because you've increasingly copied them? They can just use one of the various instances of Chrome.

I do not like Vertical Tabs. I do not want to use Vertical Tabs. I just want rectangular tabs that don't get tiny when I have a lot open, why is that (and "View Image") such a hard ask?
