Colibri

I don't get it? Why is this better than Chrome for example? Why should I use this? I have 30 tabs open right now and I love them.

I like the minimalist design and the signup process. However, I don’t understand what the innovation is here. Sure you removed tabs, and stripped the UI of pretty much everything, but didn’t replace tabs or the address bar with a more sensible solution. Calibri is forcing me to make more effort to surf the web compared to Chrome or Safari. This is the classic minimalist approach that sacrifices usability for aesthetics. - Takes multiple clicks to surf to a new address. - Without tabs, I’m guessing the idea of Calibri is that people should browse the internet in a linear, single-window fashion, one page at a time. This isn’t ideal, and is the reason Tabs became so popular—open up multiple links at once while scrolling through your favorite websites, then read them later, cross reference between them, etc. - There’s no hotkeys to quickly surf to a new address, go back or open up my links. - Links and Lists are simply bookmarks and bookmark folders, which other browsers have (and no way to import my bookmarks from other browsers). And the fact that you organized Links and Lists in tabs seems to be at odds with your overall goal of proving that no tabs is better. I’m a fan of new solutions that make things simpler, and can appreciate the effort here, but in the case of Calibri, I feel it’s made my surfing experience more cumbersome and tedious by removing things without providing a new solution. I don’t think you can fly far with just the concept of “No tabs!” There needs to be a new solution here that enables people to consume the internet more efficiently.

I too don't get this. I would strongly recommend Jared Spool's article "What makes a design 'intuituve'?" To the makers. This article covers most if my concerns for the product in a far more elegant way than I ever could.

It seems like you didn't actually remove tabs... command/N adds a new tab like it does in any other browser... I'd love this list feature except it doesn't seem to actually list any live content, but functions like an oversized version bookmarks in any other browser. It seems like this app has achieved minimalism by making buttons too small to be usable, and creating new/misleading names for standard features. If the UX leaned into the Pocket-like UI that it seems to be trying for and introduced page summary features like pocket, and more natural keyboard command this could be a great lightweight browser for viewing habitual sites, but for now, it's a browser that doesn't have features I need and leans heavily on features other software does better.

The tagline is awful. Who would need a browser without tabs in 2016? The tagline is so bad that it prevented me from even giving it a try.

I would love to have a browser that doesn't kill the battery of my MacBook Pro. All Chromium-based browsers increase a frequency of some circuits on the motherboard, gaining the speed and requiring much more energy. I prefer battery life over the surfing speed. So, @OPQR, does this browser save energy?

Worst tagline ever. I love my tabs. Its like saying you've invented a horse with no legs. Tell us about your amazing car!
