Holy cow, this looks fantastic – view the next-generation browser from the Firefox team, incorporating a feature set they call Tab Candy. Organization into groups, multiple profiles, searchable notes, sharing of tabs and groups of tabs, concurrent browsing – some absolutely incredible features.
In the video, they do mention performance, unloading content from memory and other ways to address what currently loads a lot of memory. If they can deliver on what they show in its current Alpha state without Firefox becoming bloatware, I bet they capture an additional 5-10% of market share in the first six months.
I currently use Firefox as my primary browser, and Safari secondarily. I’ve chosen Firefox not because its the fastest (its hard to keep up with Chrome and Safari is pretty snappy too), but because of the third-party plugins, most notably FoxClocks, MeasureIt and SEO For Firefox.
Add in all the great Tab Candy features and this becomes a formidable application. I haven’t been excited about a software app like this in quite some time. Can you tell?
