I like the new interface, but as a friend pointed out, using the word tabs means you can usually see the tabs on the screen. He didn't like the terminology. I do, but wish I could show the actual tabs on a larger device like a tablet or Chromebook.
Just a thought.

There was debate about the terminology during the beta. But the usage of the word 'tabs' is definitely consistent with the way in which Apple use the term in Safari on iOS. And I'm pretty sure that Chrome doesn't display a tab bar by default on Android, but instead has a square icon with the number of 'open' tabs listed within it. Isn't that the case?
This is my personal Faithlife account. On 1 March 2022, I started working for Faithlife, and have a new 'official' user account. Posts on this account shouldn't be taken as official Faithlife views!

Very good point that I also had not thought about.

In the future, we'd like to explore optimizing for tablets-- which would include making use of the additional screen space that tablets afford.
@kevin, what other types of things would you like to see for tablets/Chrome Books/ convertibles?
