Can you configure it to force all tabs to use only the space of one screen - essentially as a tiling manager? I don't want to lose context when looking at other tabs.

There are still "tabs" that jump you to the chosen website, which always drop you in the correct place (centered on screen) so you don't lose context. The only difference is that if the website is smaller than your screen size, you will see the neighboring websites to the side.

Seems that it fails to complete downloading, at least for me. Both Chrome and IE complain about download being interrupted/network error.

There is a mirror download link on the download page (hosted on Dropbox) if you are having download issues. Hopefully that works. Please let us know if you still have issues so that we can set up an alternative. Thanks!

Some interesting ideas here. One thing I noted in a quick play with it on Windows: if you right-drag outside the window, it doesn't get the mouse-up event and you have to right click in the window again to stop it panning.

Thanks yangyang. Yes, that's an open issue that we're working on fixing.

Tried both, same thing. I'll try again later :).
