All of the browsers more or less treat tabs as real world objects. We describe them with real-world metaphors, like "dragging" and "tearing." And, we manipulate them like real-world objects we can, by rearranging and moving them. Thus, animation could help to reinforce this real-world metaphor while providing a visual affordance for how the tab is being manipulated. | All of the browsers more or less treat tabs as real world objects.

===Find text on page=== | |||
Currently, finding text on a page in Firefox can be challenging. The text is highlighted as the user types matching input, but this slow color change can be difficult to detect - especially when the highlight is similar to the background color. A subtle animation as the user types input could direct the user's attention to the word they are trying to find. | |||
====Competitive analysis==== | |||
Safari has a very successful find-on-page animation that directs attention with a slight expansion of the color around the word. | |||
