Hello,

I have a suggestion how to improve the browser usability on the Jolla phone and possibly even the tablet: A) Remove tab support completely from the browser because with the excelent SailfishOS multitasking, this is not a feature, but a limitation: 1) Opening a link elsewhere “overwrites” a currently openned tab which probably is a bug 2) Tabs are not present in the open apps list which decreases the multitasking options 3) It is not possible to open more tha one browser window/instance at the same time 4) not possible to peek to other tabs

I really liked the N9 browser which had no tab support and used the excellent multitasking feature of the OS to handle that need.

So the solution would be: 1) make the browser app lighter and simplier by removing tab support and implementing windows or new instances every time the browser is launched from anywhere (e.g. link from email or browser launcher in the apps screen) 2) show live page preview when the browser window is a tile in the process manager 3) slide left the tile - refresh the page, slide right - open new window and focus it 4) always launch new window when a link is pressed or browser app is opened 5) show search, URL entry box and bookmarks and recent web pages as new window (the about:blank)

B) make new browser which is not tabbed, but has separate windows instead. Have these two browsers in the Jolla store as options for different tastes.

I believe this would increase the browser usability and UX 1200% better than it is now.

B) or additionally make new a completely new native browser which is not tabbed, but has use separate windows instead. Have these two browsers in the Jolla store as options for different user tastes.
