  "account": "Google Chrome is currently testing a horizontally scrollable tab bar, a feature designed to simplify navigation for users with numerous open tabs, potentially numbering in the dozens or even hundreds. This new design allows users to navigate through their tabs using the mouse wheel or dedicated arrow buttons, with pinned tabs remaining fixed on the left side. The tab bar is currently available in Chrome Canary, a testing version of the browser, through an experimental flag. There is currently no confirmed release date for this feature to become a part of the stable version of Chrome. This new addition to Chrome follows closely on the heels of similar features introduced by competitors like Firefox and Vivaldi, which have been enabling users to stack their open webpages neatly along the side of the browser for several years.",
