Safari 6 tab width super wide

I know how you feel and it's been taking a massive toll on my OCD. If Apple doesn't get around to fixing it anytime soon perhaps some reverse engineering could.

I agree. 27" iMac with full width tabs makes for a far less efficient means of switching between them.

I would really appreciate a preference option for this.

Thanks for the link.

Apple never seem to take any notice of anything that's said in these forums and I've never seen an official reply from any Apple employee, but maybe filling in that web form will get the issue in front of someone.

I've told them that tabs as implemented in Safari 6.0 are worthless and unworkable. Two tabs, half the window width each is just a joke. I hope it's a bug and not a deliberate decision...

Domo use Chrome now with sync.

Fat tab make me angry and want to chase roar at cat.

I am suprised that Apple let this out the door. The usability is terrible, you can't find where to click the close box on the next tab, you can't use muscle memory to move to the next one, etc.... the worst is on a 27" monitor in full screen mode. Its utterly ridiculous.

I am hoping that this is a hidden preference setting and someone will figure out how to revert it back.

Some 'important' internal developer had the opinion he was clever and helping everyone out making something so cool as super wide tabs. I actually thought, 'wow this is cool' when i first saw them wondering why no one ever thought of such a great idea until I ACTUALLY TRIED USING THEM!

Please Mr. Clever Dev suck up your pride and default back to the way it should be working your cleverness into a checkbox somewhere in the preferences. While you are at it why not add a 'Close Tab' option to the right click menu from anywhere within the webpage itself.

By the way I love that a double touch of the magic mouse zooms into the page content the mouse is hovering over just like on the iphone. Pat yourself on the back for that one. It is a great feature for those of us with bad eyesight.

I have an iMac and these tabs are so long its scary looking. Don't like this at all, and hope there will be a fix soon that will allow you to adjust the size of your tabs. Please Apple, give us this option.

I found this when searching the community about what to do about this horrendous "feature" and it's working great

I installed Glims from (http://www.machangout.com) and on the left panel > General > Set "Other tabs improvements" to ON. In Left panel choose "Tabs misc." and tick "Set minimum tab label size to favicon size"

Seems to be working fine now. I'm disappointed that I had to install a 3rd party app to get there though

Awesome!

guys try cosytabs http://macthemes.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&p=858202

it's a SIMBL plugin ;-)

Nice hint but, as shown on the linked page, this plugin ins only for ML, not for Lion. I still use Lion....

😟

I know it sounds simplistic, but my temporary solution is to 10 tabs immediately. Even if I have 8 "top sites" open, it still makes the size of the tabs I am keeping track of in what I consider the normal range. Hopefully, we will see a default fix soon.

I am really digging some of the other features of Glims like the favicon in the tabs, really helps identify which tabs are which on a glance and also highlights the close button. I also like the web thumbnails in search and switching tabs with the arrow keys is genius too.

This is a terrible "enhancement" - will look at Glims, but for the moment it is Chrome for me.
