Hyatt also mentions in his article that the target audience for tabbed browsing is power users, and i think we should keep this in mind when considering tab behavior. From my experience, at least, i find the ephy tab behavior easier to deal with than when stuck using mozilla. The only wish i have is that when a window is overflooded with tabs that gtk notebook would put the  left tab scroll on the left side of the window, but that might be considered not a bug i guess.

Yeah I prefer this too, makes opening a bunch of links a lot easier, and fwiw thats tab browsing's best use imo.
