While I'm glad to see someone experimenting with what browsers can be, I feel like this particular featureset is underwhelming.
- Tab groups – common in other browsers and extensions.
- Split screen - OS feature.
- Share integration – OS feature.
- Snoozing tabs, neat. My task list does this, but this is handy.
- Keyboard shortcuts, are they that much better than other browsers?
- Sync – how many people have multiple Macs? how many of those want to sync state between their personal life and work life? I don't.
- Doesn't sell data – typical for most browsers, usually funded by Google search (Chrome/Firefox/Safari).
- No ads – typical for most browsers.
I don't really know what the sell is here. Having slightly better keyboard shortcuts just isn't worth $15 a month. There are free browser extensions that do all of this, or if you want fancy tab management then something like Workona will do it for $7.
Browsers aren't perfect, but as a browser power user this solves none of my problems.
As for subscription pricing, I can understand that for a browser engine where staying up to date is critical to the web usability, but for a browser shell, it's a push, even with a good feature set.
