• Your favorite sites, awesome bar and passwords should travel with you
• Get up and go
• Walk away from your desk, take your open tabs with you - pick up where you left off

Mobile developer hell

To hell with it• Multiple platforms -- each with their own SDKs,
distribution mechanisms and security models
• Which platforms? For Which Users? Port, test, update and support that application
• This "plumbing" work dampens innovation, distracting from development of the core technology
• The modern Web browser: Reduce risk and development time, maximize reach for app developers.
