The intention is to create a prototype of tab strip to improve the experience on tablets. This will also lead to information about further possible improvements that can help improve the tablet experience. 

Although, not the main goal but working on this is also highlighting some of the refactoring opputunities to simplify making further iterations and as a result paving the way to support different form factors on all screens.

The intention is to create a first working version of tab strip to improve the experience on tablets. This will also lead to information about further possible improvements that can help improve the tablet experience. 

Although, not the main goal but working on this is also highlighting some of the refactoring opputunities to simplify making further iterations and as a result paving the way to support different form factors on all screens.

This includes:
– Secret Settiings - "Enable Tab Strip" that's visible only on tablets.
– Displaying open tabs in a Tab Strip above toolbar
– Display favicon for each tab
– Ability to add a new tab
– Ability to close tabs

While these are not features of the Tab Strip UI, these are changes are in Settings when tab strip is enabled:
–  toolbar customization in Settings is not shown as Toolbar defaults to Top.
– Swipe tab gesture to switch tabs in settings is not shown as it is disabled.

Note that this doesn't and shouln't affect the current mobile experience in any way, or even the current tablet experience if the secret settings is switched off.
