The Pinned-Tab-Icons are to small

Description of the issue:
The Size of pinned Tabs is too small since the update today. Now it is more difficult to differentiate between tabs from afar and even harder to see which Icon the Cursor points at, since they are thin and the Icons of the Websites are all cut off at the sides left and right, which makes it (unnecessarily) hard to click on the right Tab quickly.
How can this issue be reproduced?

  1. Open a new Tab.
  2. Right click the Tab and then pin it.
  3. Look at the size of the Tab.

Expected result: It should be wider, like it used to be.

Brave Version: v 1.80.113

Additional Information:
Yes, I know this is mainly a thing of personal preferences, but at least give us a setting that lets one adjust or revert it to the old size.
By the way, Chrome did the same thing about 2 years ago with an update, which made me switch to the Brave Browser in the first place, so I really hope I don’t have to switch browsers again.

Ok someone else posted the same Issue a day before me that I didn’t see because it was only tagged as a macos issue.
I found out that the problem was that the “Updated horizontal tabs design” was disabled and caused that squishing of the Tabs (so enabling it fixed my problem).

Thanks. This worked for me as well and I appreciate you following up with a solution!

I’ll add for those looking, you need to type or paste brave://flags/ into the URL and then search for “Updated horizontal tabs design” as mentioned, or find it in a wider search like “horizontal” if you get courageous and want to play with other settings.
