Thank your for responding, Stefan and Nicolas.I should have been more precise: I will miss the standalone browser. I found it very efficient to be able to inspect coverages without having to open the full program. I haven't found the 3-frame browser in QGIS 3.6 (more about that in a moment), but compare https://drive.google.com/file/d/17uvFHOFRwAnDu_lr1F2uIez-AZJoyKqK/view to https://www.qgistutorials.com/en/docs/using_qgis_browser.html. In the latter, besides being less demanding of system resources, the area available for the map display is much larger in the standalone browser, and you have access to the metadata, preview, and attributes on convenient tabs. I don't see a tab for attributes on the three-frame browser display.As I mentioned above, I haven't been able to find the three-frame browser in QGIS 3.6. (Perhaps you can direct me to it). If I open the Data Source Manager | Browser, I can select, for example, a shape file, right-click the file name, and select "Layer Properties" from the context menu. The layer properties box appears beneath (i.e., hidden by) the Data Source browser, so you have to dismiss it to see the layer properties box. Only then do you have access to the Metadata, Preview, and Attributes tabs. This box doesn't have minimize, restore down, and close buttons in the upper right corner, so you have to drag a corner or side to enlarge the box, for example to see a larger preview. Again, I find this less efficient than using thestandalone browser to preview data.So, for now, I continue to mourn. :-) The key consideration for me is being able to explore geodata without having to run the full QGIS program, but the other issues also matter to me.Terry*“Never do scientific research with two statisticians; take one or three.” – Ambrose Morse, 1706-1913, The Devil’s Dictionary of Scientific Research-Original Message-

Don't get me wrong: QGIS 3 is
great. The version 2.1 feature I will miss, though, is the
Browser. I found it very useful for quickly inspecting
coverages (I'm dating myself) to see what information they
contain, and how useful they might be to a particular project,
without having to add them to the project, inspect them, then
delete them if they aren't suitable.
