Tab suggestions

[EvilCornbread]

Specifically, before I switch from Firefox, I need the ability to:

- Set the minimum width of a tab (I want to be able to see whether I have new email in my gmail tab just by looking at the tab)
- Set the number of rows of tabs.
- Set tabs to be "protected". It's very easy when attempting to click on a tab to click on its X and close it -- which is the exact opposite of what you wanted to do! I have a "baseline" of tabs that I always want open, and I want to remove the X from them. They should only be closable by an option in the right-click menu.

All of this functionality was in the Tab Mix Plus plugin for Firefox, but those developers seem uninterested in porting it to Chrome. And with the exception of protected tabs, it's all stuff that I would expect any tabbed browser to allow the user to set. The Options page in Chrome is really woefully thin at the moment, and as far as I can tell there are absolutely no configuration settings on tabs at all.

The browser looks great, I'd love to switch. But a giant list of tabs all jammed together on one row just isn't going to cut it for me.

If you accidentally close the tab, you can always make a new one, and it'll be on the side, "Recently closed tabs" or something like that.

True, but there's still a "dammit, that's exactly not what I wanted to do" moment. And then I have to drag it back to its proper place.

My first two tabs are google reader and gmail. It's in their best interest that I not close them.

Adding to the features i would like to be able to scroll tabs like in FFox. I work with many tabs (from 20 to over a hundred) and when you have that many tabs open, you cannot see what they are about unless you hover on them and it is hard to select some tabs because they become so small.

How could anyone possibly need that many tabs? This is a serious question I am curious.
