Could we popularize an alternative to hamburger buttons that is more discoverable for users?

Google uses a horizontally-scrolling menu bar for Images, News, etc., just above the search results when viewed on mobile: https://www.google.com/search?q=test

The horizontally-scrolling menu bar seems to be:

– Discoverable for typical visual browsers

– Discoverable for screen readers, especially when used with attributes like role="menu" and role="menuitem"

– Fully functional without JavaScript
