Current Situation
Ideas for Improvement
Put the closing-Button on the right Tab side
- Pro: The more relevant left edge is free.
- Contra: When dragging the Bar in, one sees just the Buttons at first.
Smarter Page Crop
- Concept:
- Pro: Coosing a more representative part of the page means better recognition and more differenciation between similar pages.
- Contra: ---
Adding Favicon
- Pro: Visual grouping of same Domain-Pages. Recognize logos of commonly used webpages.
- Contra: Could be mistaken for a button if not carefully integrated.
Note:It is likely that the favicon itself is hard to recall for non-frequently used pages. But it often gives color clues for the page. (Further research is needed)
