Minimize tab

[Juu7]

Pitch:
at the top of the page, where all tabs are displayed, it should be possible to right click a tab and minimize it.

Execution:
When minimizing a tab, it turns into a small 1:1 square. When switching to that tab, it truns back normal for the duration you are on it. you can also add an animation, to make it pop or move all minimized tabs together.

Background:
When working, I open a tab to set a timer. And if I open 5 more tabs, it gets a bit crowded. Minimizing a tab allows for more space for the other tabs, while also hiding the non relevant tabs in the background.

Example:
Picture this, you start your work session with a timer (like me) and an addtional youtube tab for your 5 hour music mix. On top of that you fire up your favourite zoom meeting and start constructing a moodboard with the team on your online planning platform. through the many tabs, you have to look 2 times, to see where the online planning tab is and where the ones are, that are uninteresting. At the moment, the best way possible is to push everything to the left. But thats still the 4th tab (which is almost in the middle of the screen if you dont have a wide screen monitor).
By making tabe minimizable to 1:1, those 3 background tabs would take up less that half a tab.

Thx for reading!
