I made a comparison between both tab versions - the new ugly tab islands and the old REAL tabs, inspired by actual folder tabs.
As you can see in the screenshot below, the new tabs take up more real estate space and less of the page is visible for absolutely no good reason. This is why I think the new tabs look is useless and redundant, no need to try and catch fads. Tab islands are ugly, oversized for no good reason and functionally inferior to REAL tabs.
EDIT: After I inspected my screenshot comparison, I also find out the new tab islands display less text from the tab’s title or webpage title compared to the old tabs. Another reason to disable them and throw them into oblivion and return the old tabs.
Brave team, consider a) adding an option in Settings to pick between both; b) revert to the old tabs look, this one is not needed.
