Please do not mark bugs as duplicate if you didn't understand them. This
bug is a bigger one about supporting multiple "windows" of an app on the
phone, the other is just about tabs *within* the browser.

It is a suggestion for improvement, but we're using LP bugs for those
just as well.

  I've a feeling that tabs in a phone factor browser are a bit
  shoehorned in, I'd actually be much happier having separate items in
  the right-edge spread for the open websites instead of introducing a
  second "axis" on which to switch between tabs.

  I remember it was a desire to "explode" tabbed UIs in the Super+S
  spread in Unity, but it was not possible technically. Maybe it could
  be made possible today?

  Whether tabs would exist grouped in the same right-edge stack, or as
  completely independent entities, remains to be investigated. Maybe
  we'd explode the tabs on touch or pinch or something. I just can't see
  the purpose of tabs if they're not readily available, which on a phone
  form factor would be a waste of precious screen estate.
