We have an open issue for this here:

github.com/brave/brave-browser

Many users reporting it's too easy to click on the "dead zone" above tabs after new design

### Description Large number of users are saying that they are constantly click…ing in the "dead zone" that appears above a tab after the new horizontal tabs implementation: https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/7bc70e00-13a1-4ae7-8ee2-debab7dc7d3a It is worth noting that enabling or disabling the `#brave-horizontal-tabs-update` appears to have different effects for some users. Some users report that the issue with the "dead zone" only occurs with the flag enabled: > I have to add that I only have this behaviour when i have the flag " Updated horizontal tabs" set to disabled under brave://flags. So for now I have set it to default in order be be more productive today. But please note that I do not like this design and would prefer to re-disable this option. Other users still encounter the issue disabled or enabled: > yupp, happening here even with the flag for “new horizontal tab design” disabled. Setting aesthetics aside entirely, I would suggest we make the tab design optional (surface flag to settings) or at minimum, expand the tabs clickable vertically to go all the way to the top of the window, since most people aren't clicking above tabs to move the window anyway. ### Steps to reproduce 1. Have new tab design 2. Accidentally click in dead zone above tabs. ### Actual result Many users failing to click tab. ### Expected result Not clicking on the dead zone ### Reproduces how often Easily reproduced ### Brave version (brave://version info) 1.68.128 ### Channel information - [X] release (stable) - [X] beta - [X] nightly ### Reproducibility - [ ] with Brave Shields disabled - [ ] with Brave Rewards disabled - [ ] in the latest version of Chrome ### Miscellaneous information User reports: https://community.brave.com/t/new-update-changed-tab-shape/559629/5 https://www.reddit.com/r/brave_browser/comments/1eb8swb/what_fresh_hell_is_this/ https://www.reddit.com/r/brave_browser/comments/1eceeco/how_to_revert_to_old_tab_style/ https://www.reddit.com/r/brave_browser/comments/1ec437z/brave_updated_horizontal_tabs_design_doesnt_work/ https://www.reddit.com/r/brave_browser/comments/1ebwkkd/im_glad_i_use_vertical_tabs/
