Is there any reason that they couldn't build this ui on top of chrome? I've seen quite a lot of chrome based browsers with interesting uis
Im a beta tester for this product and it does use Chromium under the hood, pre-bundled with uBlock no less.

#52It's hard to read articles with this unabashed of a tone, feels like much of the company's own claims are uncritically re-printed.
As they say, if no one in the article is mad that it's printed, it's PR, not news

#53why are all these comments so negative? I, for one, am very excited that talented developers and designers are reimagining such a core part of everyone's daily workflow. The embedded calendar / music player (along with auto archived tabs) is very cool - not sure how well it'll work in practice, but it's clear the team has put their heart into this. And more competition for Google/Apple is always good.

#54Browser tab problem is not about the web or the browser, it is about users' habits and discipline. If you suffer from this "problem" invest time in learning shortcuts for bookmark, typing to search history in the address bar, saving things in proper place for later reading and, above all, concentrate on one thing for more than 5 minutes.

Which issues do Firefox fail to solve?
I frequently cannot log in to my bank with Firefox. The problem is that my bank's website was made by a bank, but as a Firefox user this impacts me in my daily life.

embedding third-party services is a feature that is prone to break often
Chrome became the #1 because it was technically advanced (faster) but more importantly - endorsed by a search giant

How would this be solved by an up and coming browser that isn’t based off Blink/Chromium and why can’t Firefox do the solution?

#59Is this just another Chrome skin or is it actually a new browser?
I have the beta. It has some interesting ideas.

It is not up to developers to determine how users use their tools. The best you can do is hint and nudge, but it is not your decision at the end of the day.
