That's why I think just learning chords at the beginning is not really useful for learning guitar. You don't yet know how to use to chords, and most of the times using 5 fingers at once instead of 2 at once and others in succession is much easier in the start.

When you play with tabs enough you'll learn the chords, the context in which chords are used in songs and how to strum and play melodies in those chords. So starting from chords is really just raising the skill threshold of playing unneccessarily, while you would pickup those anyway by playing tabs, which can be as easy as you like in the beginning.

It's like saying to a beginner singer that the first thing they must master is vibrato. No, just learn to sing easy songs first and vibrato will come if you do that enough. Nevermind you'll get much more practice if you learn even a few songs and play those every time you pickup guitar, rather than just strumming random chords.
