Overview

Description
Rethink the basic way we interact with multiple web-pages (tabs) and the jump-off navigation point.


Current Status

Problems

  • Tabs don’t scale.
  • It’s time consuming to switch between tabs.
  • We work in semantic groups; our browser don’t. No understanding of search. Only basic understanding of “apps”.
  • Bookmarks are to heavy, tabs are too light. No metaphors for saving/sharing/viewing what we are seeing.
  • No incentive to clean up.
  • We spend over 70% of time on first & last tab [check this]

Goals / Use Cases

Non-goals

  • Promote tab searching over other types of revisitation (for instance placing all of the tab results on top)
  • Overly complicate the current design of the awesome bar (through things like the introduction of additional icons, arrows, or moving the focus right/left in addition to up/down)

Bugs

bug 480350 bug 455650

Design

Faaborg's initial mock-ups

Limi's follow-up blog post with some suggested changes

Testing
