I've mentioned the Firefox extension 'ChromaTabs' earlier.
Well, now I've tested in, and even though I'm sure it's a really good feature for some, I just couldn't get used to it. It was too hard to see which tab was the active one, and in the end the various colors faded into a palette, where I [...]

The new Better [...]
