Bug description:
  Related to bug #1198714 and design http://design.canonical.com/2014/05
  /the-browser-is-dead-long-live-the-browser/.

  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.
