The 149 update made the tab previews much larger and even though that is probably a great change for people with vision problems, I find the extra space it takes up annoying as I tend to have a lot of active tabs and it makes it harder to scroll through them all. Is there a way to change the size of the tab previews or better yet, turn them off completely? I honestly prefer how the inactive tabs menu just has the text title of the page.

Selecting "list view" in tab settings (open the tabs menu and click on the context menu at the bottom) might get you closer to what you're looking for, though there are still small thumbnails.

That said, I'd personally still like a "compact" option for the grid view myself. I like seeing a legible preview since I'm more visual, but like you said, the current size is a little too unwieldy for tab hoarders like us lol. I felt it struck a nice compromise between legibility and size-efficiency before this update.
