The top area of the browser window is really just a series thin grey lines on a white background. This is poor design for a few reasons:
1. Grey and white don't contrast very well, especially thin strips of grey on white.
2. The grey outlines and symbols are inconsistent in thickness and colour:
2.1. The X icon is thinner than the + icon beside it, which is a different consistency again to the < button below it.
2.2. The rounded grey outline around the address is slighly thicker (blurred?) compared to the grey outline delineating the tabs.
3. Those vision impaired will have a very hard time.
4. Even those who are not vision impaired will be cognitively slowed by having to interpret the fine grey lines rather than areas of greater contrast.
