"Tabs on Side" is more accurately described as "tabs stuffed into the address bar."<p>This is what I think of as being "tabs on side", and it works <i>great</i> on a widescreen monitors:<p><a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tree-style-tab/" rel="nofollow">https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tree-style-ta...</a>
Looks great. But really need a tab <i>sidebar</i>. This works really great on big monitors when you have many tabs open. Instead of stacking up in the top bar.
There's room for a third browser that is 100% open source, built on desktop technologies (non of this HTML/JS nonsense) that takes privacy to absurd levels.<p>I wonder why one hasn't popped up yet, there are lots of people in the tech industry who would switch in a heart beat. I would still use Chrome for my dev work but the only URL Google would see is localhost.
I really wish that Microsoft and Apple would introduce tabbed windows for the entire OS with some good extensibility and customization options so that application developers aren't pressured into implementing window management as part of their application.<p>Having every application implement tabs differently is a frustrating experience. Those who've fallen in love with tiling window managers on Linux will sympathize.
I'd love a web browser that uses an idea similar to vim's tabs and buffers.<p>Each tab would be a grouping of sites and you could use Ctrl+P to open a fuzzy search for sites in that tab.<p>Edit: And maybe there could be a mode where you fuzzy search the contents of the site too.
Is the only innovation in how customizable the UI is? I guess it's way too hard to write a new rendering engine. With the existing ecosystem of chrome / Firefox / safari extensions it will be difficult to gain traction.
so another browser? what makes this one different? would it be safe from drive by downloads and other exploits? do you have a team and an army of QA to make sure new patches are released on time and make sure vulnerabilities don't linger?
