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]

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)
