** Description changed:
Current Behaviour:
- When switching between tabs, I have to make two touches. Most other
browsers only require one.
- When switching between tabs, there is very limited space to display tab
specific information.
- Tab icons do not have a number indicating the number of tabs open.
- We cannot switch between tabs using the left-to-right swipe motion.
- We are forced to use the in-browser tab switching because we cannot have
multiple instances of the browser app.
- I can have a GMail web app, and Gmail open in a seperate tab, but I would
have to switch between them differently. This can be fairly confusing because
the windows aren't lableled when switching unless you go to the main Apps page.
Expected Behaviour:
- Use a switching behaviour similar to the way we switch between
notifications to switch between tabs. I posted a video about it here:

- Alternatively, abandon the entire Tab functionality and only have new
browser app instances. This will make the experience more aligned with the Web
App experience.
NOTE: I remember reading an article regarding windows switching tab
switching. The article explained that the introduction of Tabs in applications
was an attempt to take control of windows switching from the window manager. I
don't have a reference, but I believe it was written with Ubuntu in mind. If
knows about this article, it probably gives good use cases to abandone tabbing
all together.

+ UX Comment:
+ The new bottom edge functionality will address the issues above.
