    I think this is a big accessibility issue. Please let tabs be tabs. This design seems too similar to Firefox’s new design where it’s hard to tell which tab is active (specially if you have only two open). I feel like tabs should be attached to the viewport/content otherwise they look like buttons where my intuition is to click on an active to tab to activate it

      in what way is this an accessability issue, it just seems to be a minor visual stylization change?

        Consider having just two of them. The one which is active actually seems like a button that demands attention. It’s basic design stuff. Tabs denote choices between active viewports, it should be unambiguous always which one is active. These hovering tabs are more like buttons which intuitively ask to be clicked

        Try looking at the comparison screenshots in this repo. Or look up some images of firefox australis. You’ll see how tabs are actually behaving like tabs and are denoting clearly which one is active by linking itself naturally to the viewport

          it seems more like a radio button describing where you are and where you can go, which is just slightly more abstract than tabs.

            Because it works like that, but in the traditional way, not all corners are rounded, and there’s no margin in the bottom.
