In Firefox/IE (and probably others) there's a Minimum Tab Width.
This is useful when you have a lot of open tabs. They shrink only down to the minimum width but not more.
What is the Minimum Tab Width in Chrome/Chromium/Brave ?
How can one increase that ?
This example is about Brave, but a solution for Chrome/Chromium is welcomed.
Background: I routinely use lots (by Chrome's definition) of tabs in a single window on a small 10" touch tablet. I usually have lots of other non-browser windows open at the same time.
Update 1: Found the answers to the first question.
- At 150% Windows Scaling it's 22.5 pixels per tab:
- At 100% Windows Scaling it's 13.75 pixels per tab:
After the tabs reach their minimum size, no mechanism besides Ctrl+Tab exists to reach the hidden tabs on the right-hand side.
Best Answer
In Brave address bar, enter :
Next, find
Tab Scrolling
among the available flags and enable it : you can choose from several options (tabs shrink to pinned tab width, tabs shrink to a medium width, tabs shrink to a large width, tabs do not shrink). Then you just have to restart your browser to see the change take effect.I will not be surprised if this procedure can be reproduced in all chrome type browsers.
