Well its out & there is no thread
I've switched to it (yay, Adblock!) having been using Chrome lately due to FF 3.6 & the FF 4 betas being unstable at least with the number of tabs I use.
Of course, I've been using far fewer tabs in Chrome so probably would have been OK if I'd managed to trim down some of those tabs...
Anyway, its been pretty solid for me so-far. No crashes at all.
Only real problem I've had is a few times when closing several tabs in a row quickly it seems to loose track of one, leaving the tab on tab bar but un-clickable.
Goes away after restarting the browser.
For me a nice change is it doesn't auto-reload all your tabs on starting the browser, others with less tabs/faster connections may not like that so much though.
Tab Groups are sweet, though the interface seems to be pretty laggy for me both at home with lots of tabs & with the crappy work PC.
Tabs on top is somehow more of a PITA than in Chrome but they do have an option to put them back.
Hmm, just discovered if you disable Menu bar it goes more Chrome with tabs in title bar = takes less vertical space which is better.
Gonna try this out for a while.
App Tab pinning gives you a permanently open tab available on all tab groups.
For me I've just got Wikipedia there at the moment though.
Most other stuff is split out into topic based groups.
Might have some better use for it at work though.
