When one traverses one of these tab trees, there is usually a predictable and liner order in which the page at each node is read. This is the depth-fist order (which is arguably more efficient than a breadth-first order). Such a flow was boosted by Firefox 3.6 when spawned tabs were made to appear adjacent to their parent and in order. What if we simply collapsed the tree into a single dimension, preserving its natural reading order? This is what the diagram shows.
