Based on what I have seen in the past year or so, I’d say the Chrome “team” is determined to produce a browser for Attention Deficit Generation. For idiots and flibbertigibbets.

The very idea that you must consume 1/6th of the screen to describe a web location probably says something about the development team’s focus.

I’m like many internet users: there are literally thousands of places where previously accessed information is located, and I need that information quickly to do whatever I’m doing. The whole idea of the net is quick access to information and connectivity.

Given the constraints of contemporary hardware, the only route to quick random access is a hierarchical listing (with MINIMUM SPACING) in the form of a sidebar that remains visible while a webpage is displayed. You also need to be able to drag and drop links between pages (the address field) and the sidebar to build the bookmark file easily.

Check out bookmarks in FireFox. They’ve got the user interface right… they just can’t seem to create code that works reliably!!!

Why not add something good to the world: make sidebar functionality the default. Give the path of least resistance to the goal-directed productive users of your browser.

You could always offer a separate version or configuration that panders to the unproductive, uncreative, products of our public school system (as in Idiocracy). You can mercifully help them to kill time.

Evolution functions everywhere and always. You can make a difference by encouraging people who make the world work.

At the Chromium site, the form factors design documentation references these type of tabs for 10″-12″ netbooks as “Sidebar UI”.

Why are you redefining language?. This is NOT “sidebar tabs”.

“Sidebar tabs” are little square widgets with content or search parameters etc shown on the SIDE of the browser.
It has been present since Netscape 6.0 and Mozilla 0.x (the predecessor to Firefox).

This feature is “browser tabs on the side”. I don t see it as “sidebar tabs”.
