History of trapezoidal tabs

change

It first started with Chromium and Chrome that came out in the year 2008, marking the start of trapezoidal tabs. The tabs became less "aero fruitiger-like" due to modernisation and oversimplification in the mid-2010s (circa 2014-2018), and in the year 2018, the trapezoidal tabs got replaced with rounded tabs, marking the end of trapezoidal tabs. But due to a chromium fork called Supermium, trapezoidal tabs came back.
