I'm not arguing with you, but I like the "feel" of the padding for the tab area, as someone with a 27" 1440p screen. I /don't/ like padding on repeated elements like lists (gmail, reddit, etc.) that are cumulative when evaluating dozens of items on a page, though.

OTOH, I don't see why they couldn't have kept things adjustable with a ratio. And I miss the Status Bar on the bottom.
