Feedback on new Android browser tabs UI

sfin
Making moves

I appreciate the efforts to modernize the browser but I have some issues with the current implementation. 

1. The tabs are very tall which makes it difficult to manage a large number of tabs

2. When the tabs at the top (private, tabs, sync) collapse there is a little auto scroll animation that pulls the tabs down further than the distance I scroll. This seems to have an amplified effect when I scroll quickly and I am never where I expected to scroll to when I take my finger off the screen. I would prefer the tabs not collapse at all rather than this behavior.

3. When I scroll down there is a grey area covering the top of the browser tabs list. There doesn't appear to be a reason for it's existence.

4. When I am scrolled down from the top of the browser tabs list and the tabs at the top change color the system bar at the top's background does not match the background color at the top of the app.

5. The system bar at the bottoms background color does not match the apps background color

6. The floating action buttons looks off center when the new tab button is expanded. The text on the new tab button is unnecessary because it's obvious what the button does. The text expanding everytime I scroll is distracting (especially because it's such a bright color in dark mode) (maybe only re-expand it when I get to the top of the list of you really think it's necessary). I would prefer it just be right aligned like most android FABs. And maybe have it disappear entirely when I scroll down. I think the vertical ellipses button is unnecessary but could be moved to the top of the screen since there's extra space there, it really just makes the whole fab look wonky, there must be a better solution, there are much cleaner adjectives demoed in the material compose app.

7. When I long press to select multiple tabs the UI jumps around. 

8. When I swipe tabs to the side to close them they slow down and and stop before closing if they're swiped towards the middle, it's a very weird animation.

9. When the tab view is in list mode (I don't use this but still have opinions) the current tab gets a different color than it gets in grid mode and separating the tabs with a border looks weird (should probably just be a small gap)
