As a result, you might very quickly hit the 99 count maximum within the tab switcher button.  This is the more accurate approach in the long run, but the number is certainly going to skyrocket for people.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re seeing this change widely rolled out today with Chrome 106 entering the stable channel in recent days.
