    This is a useless feature. Here are some purely UI features that are more important, and exist in Chromium:

    • more compact tab bar, saving space
    • CSD decorations (_ 🔳 x) in the top right, hitbox at the very edge, f**k GNOME for this
    • Tab groups natively in the Tab bar, its the most organic

      As I said somewhere else, to get more compact tabs you can go to about:config and search for a setting called browser.tabs.tabMinWidth, I usually change the number to 20 (the default minimum width is like 70) and tabs are allowed to become roughly as narrow as in chrome. And if by “more compact tab bar” you meant how tall tabs are, there’s the browser.compactmode.show setting, put it to “true” and then in the Firefox menu under More Tools → Customize Toolbars you can select “compact mode” in the “Density” menu on the bottom, which makes the tab bar and toolbars shorter

        That second setting is beta so its not shown
