Guess Google cares more about novelty speed increases than usability.

It is quite usable for most users. Otherwise it wouldn't be #2 in terms of market share right now. Simply put, if you don't like it, don't use it. :p

tbh, Google has not implemented tab overflow the traditional way because of the usability.
if you read the article i posted under section "many tab overflow" i hope you ll get some idea.
at least to me having a drop down/ a scroll for tab seems to be less usability..
I hope Google do something soon because many have been requesting that feature at least as an option.

here is the issue id http://code.google.c...s/detail?id=188
Do star it so that it will be implemented quickly.
