I agree that adding a new button for opening a > new tab would clutter the UI. It seemed like the most straight-forward approach while using an existing element. This might be controversial, but what about changing the 'close tab' button to be just for opening a new tab? The close tab button is redundant, because we can just right-click (or middle-click) the tab to close it, so it's not really needed. > I was thinking in clicking the empty space after the tab to open a > new one.

This seems reasonable, but perhaps less discoverable (I didn't know about that in Firefox until just now). In either case, I think it would be nice to have a feature like 'always show tab bar', even if there is only one tab open. Because in order to open a second tab, you would need to use another means, since that element would initially not be visible. > In any case, I seem to always use Ctrl+T for new tabs. Sure, but by that logic we could just do away with all of the buttons, since everything can be done by keyboard. I personally feel that we should strive for maximum accessibility, which includes mouse-centric workflows.
