Am I the only one who thinks this browser looks like a bad toolbar your grandma would install?
With web sites putting all the useful info in a tall, narrow bar, the user can use their screen real estate better. Have a desktop browser tell the sites it's a mobile device with a narrow screen, get the smaller mobile version of the site, and lay the search result out in columns.
As a result format for web search, this could work well on big screens. With web sites putting all the useful info in a tall, narrow bar, the user can use their screen real estate better.

Edit:
Feedback:
- This logo is way too big. Use logo only, no text. I know what browser I'm on already
- Allow the viewports to snap to the side of the screen
- Allow grid. Right now, I have a lot of websites horizontally but this vertical space is wasted
- Allow me to have a regular search bar
- Allow me to zoom / un-zoom individual viewports
- I feel like the new tab button (+) should open an address bar when I click it, and not a whole new tab to about:newtab. But that's personal opinion
- I can't pin tabs (make them smaller)
- How do I remove Firefox Hello?
- I wish there was a way to view all my open tabs as thumbnails in the main viewport (a bit like about:newtab) and be able to manage them from there (close, reorder)
- Bookmark toolbar should be displayed when I'm in a new tab
- The whole thing is a bit laggy
- I should be able to have a website opened in a tab but hide the viewport (pin tabs?)
- about:newtab breaks on small width displays
- I can't select multiple tabs by holding command key
I've never thought "I want a panoramic browser", but I never thought I wanted tabs until I had them, and a dozen other large and small now-mandatory features. I'm looking forward to playing with it, to see if it unlocks usage patterns and new efficiency in the way tabs did. Or, perhaps it'll cure some of the negatives of tabs (losing my train of thought, a tendency to always be multitasking poorly, etc.).
Some website are already hard to render, I wonder what happens when more than one of them are rendered at the same time, side by side!
I'm not at home right now so I can't test it out, but I'm wondering how heavy it is? Some website are already hard to render, I wonder what happens when more than one of them are rendered at the same time, side by side!
Does the pan feature work with touchscreens? That would be very, very, very fancy!
What's almost as interesting as what they've built is that they've built this based on Firefox. It's impressive that the UI can be so thoroughly re-imagined with not that much code (not to say it is a trivial project, or to diminish the work put into it; it's very impressive). I've never thought "I want a panoramic browser", but I never thought I wanted tabs until I had them, and a dozen other large and small now-man…
