Are there any hacks or add-on apps that will allow scrolling through tabs with the mouse wheel or the ability to have multi-row tabs in safari?

Its just a command key so you could set to scroll between tabs with USB overdrive.

No way to have multiple rows AFAIK

^ Yeah, yikes. I always hate multiple rows of tabs when I encounter them on Windows (and perhaps in some old versions of Office for Mac).

Nastiness, amazed the way MS made the tabs all change position when you select one.

If you use a boatload of tabs at opened at once like I do, it's much more efficient having multiple rows of tabs vs. safari's current setup. After x amount of tabs, having that button that drops down the list of remaining tabs isn't very appealing in my opinion.

Try the TabMixPlus extension for firefox and you'll see the benefits of having multiple rows of tabs. Not only do you get multiple rows, but you can also enable scrolling through the tabs with the mouse wheel! I wish they had a safari version heh.

Nice picture tetenal, but not quite the same as TabMixPlus

It was meant to illustrate what a usability nightmare multiple rows of tabs are.
