awesome idea for browser navigation

Doesn't cover getting past review, but another reminder to be paranoid careful about adding browser extensions.

Have seen this a bit lately in logs. A lot of 3 or 4 year-old versions of Chrome out there

Still can't figure out a one button shortcut to Add to Pocket which is a downer.

The 100+ starting point really put things into perspective for me..

Some of these are getting quite outrageous. But I do love the level of depth and detail of this.

A counter to the "but I always use cmd R" argument. Stripping away useful UI so things look clean is not a good design approach.

The forward march of Apple stripping away UI elements continues. Some quite bad tab-related ideas in there, and an excellent point on tab grouping:

A little experiment: how many browser tabs do you have currently open? Let’s be conservative. Let’s say nine. How many are so tightly related among one another that you can meaningfully group them together? I bet none to very few.

If I am working on something with a bunch of related tabs, I am more likely to have a dedicated browser, or user, or session with those. I don't want to juggle and maintain tab groups to deal with their agressive UI culling.

Cutting sync support for Chromium was what finally sent me to other browsers. Now alternating between Firefox, Brave, and Vivaldi.

Don't agree with all (I like some of the stupid new features), but the core point is true. Web browsers have gotten too complex and are basically no longer rebuildable from scratch.
