I very much appreciate what y’all have done with the new vertical tab format. However, I would like to make a suggestion that would be a HUGE improvement. I strongly recommend that you consider modifying the Add Tab “+” icon by relocating it over to the top of the vertical tabs instead of where it is now, which to me is a bit awkward and not easy to locate. It’s not very “ergonomic” or practical where it is now (at the bottom left side); instead, please consider placing it at the top of all of the open tabs where it will be more practical and easier for the user to locate.
Mahalo!

Two things I would like:
- Make the tabs act more like treeview, where a tab that’s under the tab that it was opened from is indented a little. (This way it’s easier to see the tree of navigation.)
- When there are only a few tabs, consider putting a screenshot of the page in the tab. (This might require that the tab is 100-200 pixels tall.)
A bit more context: I tend to open a new window for each search, and then open multiple tabs as I skim the results. With vertical tabs, I’m running multiple searches in the same window. Vertical tabs is really cutting down on the number of windows I need open; and making it easier to find the tab I’m looking for! If the tabs that I opened on the search result page were indented; it would implicitly group the tabs.
