Interesting idea. Definitely a different approach than the current crop of commercial browsers. Not sure I'm fully convinced (yet) of the utility of a task based browser (I'm actually into tasking products) but will have to reserve judgement until I use it more. But I like that you're thinking differently - very cool! And I like the nice, clean look and feel.

Cool idea. You might consider building out Chrome extensions with some of the functionality as customer development plays. It's a fantastic way to find-tune how a feature really needs to work.

Great idea! I've been using the OneTab Chrome extension as a work-around for this exact purpose. I.e. - Each browser window is assigned just one task. Then when it's done.. well and good. If it is undone and I need to take up another task, I 'onetab' it, and I can bring all the tabs up the next time I work on that task.
Might give this a try... I love browser extensions but the main ones I use are LastPass and Pocket (and Onetab!) - so may not miss them as much as some extension fiends on here :D

I love the idea, this really solve a problem I'm facing everyday. Although it's not enough for me to switch browser, as many people said already I'll be a user if this was a Chrome extension.
I love the idea. Using it a bit to see if I can get used to it. LastPass functionality would make this a no-brainer work space. @SimonCaminada :)

This really should be a plugin. I get that you want to "rethink" the browser and as an experimental thing only then I can agree with you, but if you wish to get actual adoption and have this turn into a thing, then being its own browser is a big ask. Power users need their plugins, so the fact that you built a power-user app without plugins completely missing the mark. Even once you do have plugins, you need enough power user adoption to get plugin makers to build plugins, which you wont get without a lot of power users, which you won't get without plugins.

@simoncaminada just wondering before I download what makes Alloy standout above others?
@csabounjian Alloy is built up on Tasks, of which every has its own Tablist. It's meant for the power user who has many tabs opened at the same time. Alloy helps you to keep the overview over those tabs and their associated task. You only see the relevant Tabs for your current Task.
