I think we need all support we can get to fight Google on this, so I welcome Brave here actually.

Remembered one more thing; in Firefox I can only have 31 tabs open before the scroll bar appears. In Chrome it's closer to 90-100! That's kinda huge imo.

If you go to the about:config page you can edit browser.tabs.tabMinWidth down to 50 (default is 76) which lets you fit a bit more
If you want more than that it's possible by editing the userchrome:

Modifying userchrome is admittedly difficult if you're not a developer.. but not out of reach if you're able to follow a guide.

I did set the tabMinWidth first, but the result was... lackluster... to say the least (I like having ~50-100 tabs per window....). However, I JUST found out about userChrome.css before you wrote, and also found code that worked for it!

For anyone else interested:

Guide on creating the userChrome.css file: https://www.userchrome.org/how-create-userchrome-css.html

Code that should be added to the file: .tabbrowser-tab { min-width: 1em !important; clip-width: 1em !important; }
