The biggest change is that the options are all featured in sidebars. On the left is a bar with a video player, download manager, screenshot clipper and image viewer, while the right sidebar holds all of your tabs.

The sidebars shrink the amount of real estate you have to read websites. And while I was able to fit a lot on screen – I scanned the front page on the New York Times, read an article on Tom’s Guide and watched a popped-out video of President Barack Obama’s farewell speech simultaneously – there was so much going on that I couldn’t focus on any one part of the screen. Perhaps the key is restraint. Using splitscreen and pop-out video at once is a lot. The browser also has an algorithm that floats tabs it thinks you want to the top, which might peeve tab hoarders who know exactly where they left everything.
