How to make Google Chrome's tabs behave more like Firefox?

Question

Is there a way to have the following in Google Chrome, like Firefox?

1. A right arrow slider to navigate the tabs.
2. A drop down list of open tabs.

Solution 1

The TooManyTabs for Chrome extension is what you are looking for, until Chrome improves its tabbed interface.

Solution 2

Actually it is known as a "UI: tab overflow" bug and was reported Sep 2 2008. https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=188

So almost 10 years passed since then... they had time to fix that, but just didn't want.

They could make it as an optional setting in preferences: "turn on/off tab scaling" or "make scrollable tabs" checkbox.

For me it was main reason why I didn't use Chrome.

HOW have they not fixed their tab management 4 years later??

It doesn't have to be Google that addresses the problem. One of the existing answers claims there is a Chrome Extension for this.
