This feels important to me; even if I don't exactly remember the ID I'm looking for I can narrow it down to one or two tabs and then hover if I need to. Many other sites also have tabs that can be distinguished from the first few letters - if you can see them.β (Too many do not.) Indeed now that I have this pref to play with I have set it to 200 and this seems even better. > Off-topic feedback such as commentary on extension deprecation policies > aren't actionable for me.
