Feature Description

I can set the animation duration for the tabs themselves using animationDuration on the mat-tab-group. If I set this to 0, the tabs switch instantly, but the ink bar moves across taking 500ms, which makes the tab switching look slower than it actually is.

I can implement this myself using ng-deep:

::ng-deep .mat-ink-bar {                                                                             
  transition: none !important;                                                                       
}

but ng-deep is deprecated, so there's always the risk this will stop working in the future.

Use Case

Tab switching looks faster if tab switch animation duration is less than 500ms.
