+1 on everything

The only caveat I'll say is that I found the navigation confusing only for
1-2 days, mainly because I had to unlearn using other devices that I was
used to.  Now I find it much better, including the left menu, but it may
just be me.

I'm sure most of this is being worked on, but I'd also love to see a first
class feature rich browser, the default browser on android isnt great, and
it's a great way to differentiate, imho
