Re: Colibri: A Browser Without Tabs
#2I have many questions about this.
1. Is it Chromium-based?
2. I see that it references storing links "on the server." Does that mean it doesn't store this data locally, or have the option to do so?
3. What is OPQR and where is it based out of?

#3But why?
Re: Colibri: A Browser Without Tabs
#4This seems incredibly dumb? I feel like I'm missing something obvious. A common behavior I have is to google something and then open 5 separate results as separate tabs. How would I do that here?
At the bare minimum this landing page needs a lot of work. I come away from it feeling like this is some out of season april fools joke about moving browsers back into the 90s.
Edit: Looking at some of the linked articles its been around since at least 2016... almost 5 years, probably more. This is all they have to show?

#5Don't really like that it requires an email to download. Seems like it's not under active development either, since the last news was posted in 2018.
Anyone know more about this?
I downloaded it and played with it for a minute. Browser without tabs still opens things in new windows, and I don't see any better alternative to following multiple links, so there doesn't appear to be anything new here. Am I missing something?

The Releases page has the most recent release in September of this year, but it definitely seems light on dev.

#7I don't understand how the images that are presented on the landing page relate to a browser. Where is the proposed alternative browsing interface? I don't see a URL, nor how to browse multiple websites simultaneously.

#9A browser that first wants your email address, and then sends your entire browsing history to its maker. No thanks.

#10An account seems mandatory to even download or use this browser, and that combined with what appears to be a lack of any compelling advantage above the existing mainstream browsers means it probably won't see much adoption. Even the site doesn't have a dedicated features page but simply a carousel that highlights "Links", "Lists" and "Feeds" with very little details, and apart from Feeds, the other two don't seem very interesting or unusual.
Oh and lack of tabs is probably not a selling point for the vast majority of users. And no mention of whether it is open source.
