- Updates2
Speed up switching between stacked tabs while keeping the horizontal sliding animation.
The core stacked-tabs feature uses the browser's native smooth scrolling, whose duration is not configurable. Faster Stacked Tabs replaces only that horizontal scroll with a shorter, adjustable ease-out animation.
Features
- Keeps the stacked-tab sliding animation instead of disabling it.
- Adjustable duration from 40–400 ms, with a 120 ms default.
- Leaves regular tabs and scrolling elsewhere unchanged.
- Restores native scrolling when the plugin is disabled.
Usage
- Enable Faster Stacked Tabs under Settings → Community plugins.
- Open Settings → Faster Stacked Tabs.
- Set Animation duration to the speed you prefer. The default is 120 ms.
The plugin only changes smooth horizontal scrolling inside stacked tab groups. Normal tabs and scrolling elsewhere are left unchanged.
