Tried Dazzle few times this afternoon and this browser is just brilliant. Why: Currently, user interaction with tabs on mobile browsers is totally broken and super cumbersome. Dazzle is merging browsing history with tabs which is smart and leads to a super smooth user experience. Actually, there are no tabs anymore, just the browser history which pops ups every time you touch the address bar at the bottom. Simple but nice solution. Moreover, it offers a bigger viewport than Safari does (no iOS navigation bar at the bottom und a black slick and super slim address bar). Finally, I like the slightly rounded corners of the viewport. All small and subtle stuff but shows that the creator cares about a polished appearance. But I am not sure about the landing page and this 'first principle' thing. People don't get it and it sounds super awkward. Really remake the landing page, make it slicker, put some screenshots there, remove the first principle blabla, find a punchy headline and remake all the copy. You should definitely keep on working on this and not let yourself getting discouraged. The product and the minimalistic approach you chose is excellent, the Marekting/branding not so.

Thanks! That's exactly what excites us as well and motivated us to work on this. What message would you use on the landing page?

  > What message would you use on the landing page? Good question and not sure myself. You could make it straight and simple and put the focus on the missing tabs. Then, your header would be something like 'The No-tabs Browser'. This might be again too simple and you could get a bit more abstract and stress your minimalstic approach ('The Less-is-More Browser'). However, I'd tend to be to the point and build a story around the main feauture. Or you find a new hook in the communication, e.g. privacy. Then, your UI is kind of nice side-benefit and the DNA. How many are you and where are you from?

I'm so delighted, I started on a similar browser project a few weeks ago. It actually started because I wanted to inject javascript into youtube.com to re-enable videos to be played in the background again, and it was just a simple wrapper around a UIWebView. But I've been playing with making each tab a branch in a mind-map type structure, that can be dragged into view, and onto which you can attach the tab to a sibling node or one of its parents. It's cool to see other people see that there is a need to improve mobile web browsing.
