ok so chrome was designed to show more of the webpage, and less of the browser, so by allowing more rows of tabs, doesn't that just goes against the main purpose of chrome, to be an "invisible" browser, and let you see the content better? I think 2 rows would be more than enough, each row can carry about 25 tabs, and the tabs are still readable, but with 2 rows, the user would be able to see almost 50 tabs and be able to still see the title on the bars, the question is if more than 50 tabs are opened, then some would have to move back to the first row, and then the user would lose track of where the tabs are, but it would be better than having more than 2 rows of tabs and continue to lose content space, as tabs are opened. Unless there was a way to hide the tabs like the bookmarks bar
