Was happy to hunt Sidekick on behalf of Dmitry Pushkarev. Love seeing browser innovation (built on Chromium), and the aspects Sidekick emphasizes make sense:

* Smarter approach to working with web-apps * Built-in tab/memory management * Cross-app unified search * Support for multi-auth * Privacy enhancements * Workspace organizer tools

Basically it learns (locally, no data is sent to the cloud) how you use tabs, and tries to predict whether you will need a given tab in the nearest future. If you don't - it would unload this tab (with a few exceptions) from memory so that it won't be lost from your tabstrip, but won't consume memory and CPU resources. Think of the Great Suspender on steroids that constantly gets better over time.
