Solution for gazillions of tabs

The counter is already a bit too small for 4-digit numbers. If someone has more than 10^4 tabs, I guess it won't be readable in SVG, and I believe Webextension badges only display 4 characters.
I could try something like
| Int | Short | Long | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| 12 | 12 | 12 | 12 |
| 123 | 123 | 123 | 123 |
| 1234 | 1k | 1.2k | 1234 |
| 12345 | 12k | 12k | 12.3k |
| 123456 | 123k | 123k | 123k |
| 1234567 | 1M | 1.2M | 1.23M |
| 12345678 | 12M | 12M | 12.3M |
| 123456789 | 123M | 123M | 123M |
The "long" mode could use up to 5 characters but one being a narrow dot, so may be fine for SVG, but not for badges. The "short" mode never uses more than 4 characters, that's good. The "int" one is like "short" but without decimals; less information but maybe more clear.
I should investigate if they work well, and maybe add a pref to choose between them.
