The default browser's tab selection view could be much better designed visually and from usability's point of view.

Event though the tab thumbnails are (too ?) big, they are not always easy to tell from each other - especially if the contents happen to be e.g. using similar colours. And the current tab - because it looks and behaves different from the others (I know, this has been noted in other questions too) - doesn't seem to "fit" with the rest of the view.

So, the tab selection is a bit of a mess ?

It's also very easy to mistake the tab when opening several links from a website with the same format, such as here on Together. I also tend to frequently select URI instead of selecting the tab, resulting in VKB pulling in from the bottom, obscuring large portion of the selection. Also, when returning to the tab view the tabs change order as the last visited one is put at the top, resulting in even more frustration when trying to switch to the desired tab.

Let's just show a list with small thumbnails and normal titles in a fixed order, leave the address bar where it belongs (in the page view) or even better: drop the browser and get a standard one. ;-)
