This, in my opinion, is part of a much larger issue: the settings interface which was so well-executed in the Muon build has been reverted, if you will, to the default interface and set that comes with Chromium, with a few small customizations. The entire settings system from Muon needs to be backported into the new codebase as part of the ongoing recreating of the browser.

Per https://github.com/brave/browser-laptop/issues/955, there could be a slick animation when a new tab causes a new tab page to be created:

From https://github.com/brave/browser-laptop/issues/14655: allow scroll wheel to move between tab pages

Per https://github.com/brave/browser-laptop/issues/5532 there should be keyboard shortcuts for switching between pages

Per https://github.com/brave/browser-laptop/issues/6603 the page indicator should be obvious:

+1 from @popcornrulez via #2767 to implement multiple rows of tabs

Agreed and my thoughts upon update were the same. I have to wonder how the original mission of privacy stands as well with the increased tie-in with Google as well.

+1 from me for restoring the original tab grouper.

+1 from @caspertone2003 via https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/4235

I am running 0.63.48 @W10-x64
When there are too many tabs open, new opened tabs are not shown.
Currently I have 15 pined tabs (that are wider in size than unpinned ones) and 19 non pinned ones. If I open another one I can not reach it after going to another of the opened tabs...

+1 from reddit -- user initially requested muliple tab "rows". That issue (#2767) seems to have been closed in favor of this one.

Fwiw I agree with @bsclifton's post regarding nice looking animation when adding pages.

I am a very heavy daily open tabs user and just love the FF kinetic mouse scrolling of the tabs. But I stopped using FF years ago for Opera and Brave/Dev. 300 open tabs in Opera (which is a nightmare to manage), and the the current max in Brave Dev 85 (which sucks).

There must be a way you can do this i.e. allow a lot more open tabs on the tab bar and even a setting for this, and also kinetic mouse wheel scrolling of the open tabs on the tab bar, with your own Brave flavor of doing things… I hope so.

With kinetic mouse scrolling settings like speed, acceleration, deceleration etc, ease in and ease out. You could even offer a little graph section in settings so one can see the mouse curve, and adjust interactively. Or just the usual settings found with something like the chrome extension ‘Smoothscroll’ LINK

This feature was number one reason i downloaded Brave when what you call it now legacy version was released in beta, please bring it bank

+1

Please do something here.

I saw that Chrome now has a flag called #scrollable-tabstrips, but it seems to have no effect and according to this post, the Chromium developers have reneged on their promise to implement scrollable tabs. They apparently detest scrolling tabs and like their design the way it is (which is asinine IMO).

Does this flag actually do anything? Can Brave leverage it to have some remedy here? The current tab situation is absolutely a show-stopper for me and dozens if not hundreds of others I've seen around the web and spoken to. Having many tabs open is far more common than Google devs like to think. Anyone who does any kind of research is familiar with this. I've tried using Chrome with 100+ tabs open and it's a total nightmare. In Firefox, it's at least somewhat manageable, especially with the Tree Style Tabs extension. Not being able to even see what a tab is in Chrome is truly terrible.

Please BUMP this in the priority list! This is the main thing keeping me using Firefox instead of Chrome OR Brave. Tab handling is CRITICALLY BROKEN right now!

Agreed. Bring back this useful feature.

When is Brave finally starting to deliver customization features which are meant for power users? So far Brave serves only the simple users.

This is an illustration of another casualty of the move to stock chromium as the base instead of Muon. Feature parity with the Muon version has been promised but not delivered. The Muon version was much better. The feature I miss the most is actually the way it handled downloads, with a delete button and a close button on each item.

Unfortunately feature parity with its slicker past self is clearly not a developer priority at this point.

Tab pages would be great, but right now, we are not even guaranteed that the tab we are on will even be VISIBLE in the tabs at all. It's a critical flaw that effectively prevents you from being a "power-user" on chrome and Brave, while Firefox still has it. For this single reason alone, both Brave and Chrome are deprecated to the point of being critically broken, and I have to use Firefox instead.

I find Brave one of the best and fastest browsers out there but as this feature is not implemented I stopped to use brave at all. I'm a person who open hundreds of tabs and this is annoying, for me it's limited on 70 tabs. There are no plans on this?

I have been wanting this ever since the move to chromium. Please add it soon.

Just came back to bump this again. Tabbing is completely broken in Chrome and Brave. Please please prioritize fixing this.

+1 for multiple rows of tabs.

Sorry to say, but lack of this feature made me try other alternatives. I had to give up Brave unique ones as isolated tabs is a need for me. Firefox containers work a treat.

Fact is that believing isolated tabs will come back to Brave is just wishful thinking. Probably it breaks the business model. So, I suggest to move on... live with it or switch.
