::: Zooming out shows each tab/history next to each other. The canvas may be zoomed out even further, such that all that is visible is columns of favicons. From this perspective, each column tends to move independently from the others, as scrolling within a tab moves its content but not the entire canvas. When zoomed out, only the current active page in each tab remains active. Choosing another page zooms the viewport onto that “tab” while simultaneously scrolling that column to line up with the active area of the other columns. This ensures that the active pages from each tab are always near each other.
