The list now holds only `tabs_close` and `tabs_select`.\n\n**Why**\n\nIn practice, opening a new tab is no longer treated the same way as closing or switching tabs wherever this list is used.\n\n- Area: Browser\n- Names: `tabs_create`, `tabs_close`, `tabs_select`\n- Tier: Under the hood\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
